History
Built in the 17th century, Orsett Hall has been passed through generation to generation, playing host to many royal banquets. In 2007 a devastating fire meant this beautiful house was severely damaged. Through sheer love and determination the house was restored as close to its original structure in 2008, to become the magnificent building you see today.
A few years later in 2011 the Chapel was restored to reveal the most idyllic location for couples to say their vows.
