Haseley is a small village and former civil parish in Warwickshire, England. It is four miles north-west of the county town of Warwick and nine miles (14.5 km) south-east of Solihull, now in the parish of Beausale, Haseley, Honiley and Wroxall, created on 1 April 2007.[1] The village is on the A4177 and, as it is only five miles (8 km) from the M40 motorway, is easily accessible . Haseley proper, along with Haseley Knob, Haseley Green and Waste Green, consists mainly of detached houses spread over a large area, giving the parish a very low housing density. The 2001 census recorded 207 residents living in 92 dwellings.[needs update] Due to its relative affluence and proximity to the tourist towns of Warwick and Stratford upon Avon, several large and highly rated hotels are situated around the village.

Haseley Manor, a Grade II-listed country house,[2] formerly the staff college for the British Motor Corporation and its nationalised successor British Leyland,[3] now consists of luxury apartments.[4] The parish church, St Mary's, is medieval in origin and revealed evidence of its original decoration during restoration work some years ago.

## Haseley Hall

[edit]

Haseley Hall was the home of Sir James Sawyer from 1890 to 1919. After his death, his executors sold the house to a Birmingham company, W and T Avery, to use as a club for their employees.[5] Eventually finding the house too far from Birmingham, the company sold it in 1927 to Warwick Corporation for £6,350 (£4,000 less than the council's finance committee had expected to pay).[6] [7][8] The Corporation wanted the estate because the Warwick water works lay within its bounds. They had no interest in the house, which they considered demolishing.[9] However, in 1929, they leased it to a charity to use as a children's convalescent home.[10] In 1975, the Severn-Trent Water Authority sold the house to the Leamington Housing Association, which turned it into thirteen flats.[11][12][13] In 1994, the association offered the house for sale at a guide price of £200,000.[13] The buyer turned it into seventeen luxury apartments.[13]

## Notable people

[edit]

Job Throckmorton (1545-1601), a Puritan campaigner, lived at Haseley. In June 1589, he and John Penry installed a printing press in his house to print three "Marprelate tracts" attacking the episcopacy.[14]

Sir James Sawyer lived at Haseley Hall from 1891 to 1919.
