New Berry Hall (52°24′52″N 1°45′16″W / 52.4145°N 1.7544°W / 52.4145; -1.7544), on the outskirts of Solihull, England, was built on the estate of the existing Berry Hall Farm (picture), by the son of the successful Birmingham businessman Joseph Gillott in the late 19th Century.
Berry Hall Farm, in whose grounds the new hall was built, is a 15th century half timbered structure which is still in existence today. Joseph Gillott (Jnr.) renamed the original Berry Hall to 'Berry Hall Farm' in order that he could then call his new palatial residence 'Berry Hall'. However, the newer 1870 Hall was always unofficially known as 'New' Berry Hall.
