  1. About us

Harvington Hall

About Harvington

Harvington Hall is an Elizabethan moated manor house with rare wall paintings and the greatest series of priests' hiding places in the country.

A rare architectural record of the Counter-Reformation, the Hall tells the incredible story of how Catholic families managed to practice their faith in secret under the harsh penal laws of Elizabethan and Stuart England.

It is owned by the Archdiocese and managed through a voluntary committee.

Visitors may join a guided tour or wander round the Hall by themselves with other sources of information. 

All profits generated at the Hall go back into conserving this unique Grade I-listed monument.

Book a Parish Pilgrimage

Now, from 2023, Harvington Hall can be booked for parish pilgrimages. 

Harvington Hall gives us the chance to revitalise our faith as we remember the persecution, and often martyrdom, of Catholics during the English Reformation.

This beautiful Elizabethan moated Hall could be the setting of your next parish pilgrimage.

Pilgrimages for up to 30 people can be booked for the second Sunday and Thursday of each month.

Pilgrimage structure

  • A tour of Harvington Hall and its’ priest hides (2:30pm on Thursdays, 3pm on Sundays)
  • Tea break 4.00-4.30 (The Malthouse tea room can be booked separately)
  • Mass in the Georgian Chapel at 4.30pm (Bring your own priest)

Booking

To book your pilgrimage please call 01562 777846
or email [email protected]

Groups must be booked at least one week in advance.
