Tylney Hall - a stunning venue with a varied history
Burrowed into the Hertfordshire countryside, Tylney Hall in Hook is a majestic country mansion with a colourful past.
Although originally built in the 1500s, the current structure has only been standing since the 1700s, but has served as a hospital in World War I and later as a school for four decades, until it was refurbished into the iconic building you see today.
