Haseley is a small village and former
Haseley Hall
Haseley Hall was the home of Sir James Sawyer from 1890 to 1919. After his death, his executors sold the house to a Birmingham company, W and T Avery, to use as a club for their employees.[6] Eventually finding the house too far from Birmingham, the company sold it in 1927 to Warwick Corporation for £6,350 (£4,000 less than the council's finance committee had expected to pay). [7] [8] [9]The Corporation wanted the estate because the Warwick water works lay within its bounds. They had no interest in the house, which they considered demolishing.[10] However, in 1929, they leased it to a charity to use as a children's convalescent home. [11]In 1975, the Severn-Trent Water Authority sold the house to the Leamington Housing Association, which turned it into thirteen flats.[12] [13][14]In 1994, the association offered the house for sale at a guide price of £200,000. [14]The buyer turned it into seventeen luxury apartments.[14]
