Henbury Hall, nestled in the picturesque Cheshire countryside, has captured the hearts of many with its breathtaking grandeur. In 1990, the esteemed diarist James Lees-Milne described it as "stupendous...the whole house is a triumph." This elegant mansion, constructed in the 1980s, rises from the rolling contours of its ancient parkland, exuding a Palladian masterpiece of symmetry, elegance, and simplicity. Full of intriguing historic references, its form is both venerable and familiar, making it a unique addition to the story of late-twentieth-century British architecture.

Henbury: An Extraordinary House delves into the captivating tale of how this extraordinary house came to be. It was envisioned by Sebastian de Ferranti (1927-2015), a visionary architect who brought together a talented team of artists and craftsmen. This team included the renowned painter Felix Kelly, the talented architect Julian Bicknell, the skilled interior decorator David Mlinaric, and many other talented individuals.

Written by celebrated architectural historian Jeremy Musson, this book showcases more than 250 stunning photographs that capture the essence of Henbury Hall. It serves as a complementary vision, offering a deeper understanding and appreciation of Sebastian de Ferranti's creation. Gilly de Ferranti, Sebastian de Ferranti's widow, has contributed her own tribute to her husband's legacy, making this book as beautiful and inspiring as Henbury Hall itself.

Henbury Hall is a testament to the enduring legacy of architectural excellence, blending history, craftsmanship, and beauty in a way that is truly remarkable. Its grandeur and elegance continue to captivate visitors, leaving a lasting impression on those who have the privilege of experiencing its awe-inspiring presence.
