Himley Hall is a Grade II listed, early 17th-century country house. Its park and gardens were extended in the 1770s by Lancelot "Capability" Brown. It was originally a moated manor house, which was demolished in the 18th century when the current Palladian mansion was built. In 1966 the hall was purchased jointly by Dudley and Wolverhampton County Borough Councils. The park was opened to the public, and in 1988, Dudley bought Wolverhampton's share, gaining outright ownership.
