The original Hall was built in 1588 and acquired by Birmingham City Council in the late 1920’s. The Hall was later demolished in 1927 as the cost to restore it was financially unviable. The site was officially opened to the public in 1929 as Perry Hall Park and Playing Fields. Displays about the history of the House can be seen on a notice board and in the Lodge.
