MY MOTHER LIVED IN A TIED COTTAGE CALLED MOCKLEY MANOR COTTAGE (WHICH SOUNDED GLAMOROUS BUT WAS'NT) FOR A COUPLE CALLED MR AND MRS CREEDY-SMITH I BELIEVE, ANYWAY I USED TO TRY TO GET OUT AND ABOUT AS MUCH AS I COULD AND GO CYCLING ROUND ULLENHALL.
IT WAS HERE THAT I CAME ACROSS MISS PUGH, A LOVELY LADY WHO LIVED WITH HER BROTHER AT THE BOTTOM ON CHURCH LANE AND SHE WAS FOREVER CYCLING AROUND THE VILLAGE LOOKING WONDERFULLY FIT AND HEALTHY.

Extracts From Studley & Warwickshire books
This beautiful 17th-
century building appears
to have been called New
Hall in 1725, when it
belonged to Thomas
Chambers of Gorcott
Hall (three miles north of
Studley). It is now called
Mountbatten House after
Lord Louis Mountbatten,
who was president of
the Royal Life Saving
Society, which moved
its headquarters here in 1980.

This group of buildings next to the church was built in the 16th century on the site of a medieval castle. Traces of the motte and the moat are still visible in the garden. The house sits in fields beside the River Arrow, away from the built-up part of Studley.

Designed in 1834 by the architect Beazley, this bizarre Gothic Revival structure was from 1903 until the 1960s the home of Studley College, founded by Frances, Countess of Warwick. Her aim was the instruction of women in various branches of agriculture. Financial problems eventually forced its closure, and British Leyland bought it to use as a marketing centre.
An extract from from"Redditch Living Memories".
Studley Castle was designed by Samuel Beazley and built between 1834 and 1837 for Francis
Lyttleton Holyoake Goodricke. In 1903 it was sold to Frances Evelyn, Countess of Warwick, who
turned it into a horticultural college for women. It continued in this capacity until 1969, when it
became a training centre for British Leyland, and it was later used as a marketing institute and
conference centre by the Rover Group.
