Haden Hill Park, Birmingham

Haden Hill Park is situated at Haden Hill, between Halesowen and Old Hill in the West Midlands, England, on the Southern edge of the Black Country. Within the ground are the sixteenth and seventeen century Haden Hall, the Victorian Haden Hill House and the Corngreaves Nature reserve. The estate, of which the Park was a central part, was built up by the Haden family over many hundreds of years, before passing to the Barrs family by marriage in 1876. In 1877 it passed to George Alfred Haden Haden-Best who built Haden Hill House and developed the parkland which forms the core of the Park today. On his death in 1921, it was bequeathed to his nephews, the Bassano brothers, who offered it for sale when it was bought by Rowley Regis Borough Council following a public subscription in 1922. It then became a public facility and was the subject of a major restoration programme over the period 2000–2007, largely funded by the National Lottery. ()
