This was the original manor house of the Wise family, which owned large chunks of Leamington Spa during its Regency boom years. The family built another mansion called Shrubland Hall nearby to replace this building, which found new use as a hotel. Ironically, this building survives and has been converted and extended into flats. Its successor, Shrubland Hall, was demolished in 1948 to provide a council housing estate.
