Heckfield Place
Heckfield Place is an 18th-century[1] Georgian country estate in Heckfield, Hampshire, England.
The original manor house, now a Grade II listed building[1] was the home of Lord Eversley, Charles Shaw-Lefevre,[2] the second longest serving speaker of the House of Commons. Upon Lord Eversley's death in 1888, the estate was occupied by Lieutenant Colonel Horace Walpole and his family.[3]
In the 1980s, Heckfield Place was purchased by Racal Electronics plc., who greatly expanded it as a commercial conference and training centre. From 2000 to 2002, it was run as a corporate training center by the Thales Group.[4] The building has been undergoing major refurbishment[5] since 2009.
