Spains Hall

Residential Buildings

Spains Hall is an Elizabethan country house near Finchingfield in Essex, England, and has been Grade I listed since 1953. It takes its name from Hervey de Ispania, who held the manor at the time of the Domesday Book in 1086, and from then until 2019 the estate passed through only three families: the de Ispania family, the Kempe family, who acquired it when Margery de Ispania married Nicholas Kempe in the early fifteenth century, and the Ruggles family, later the Ruggles-Brise family.
