With most of the interiors of the Hall being designed by Joseph Bonomi, one of Packington’s most important rooms is the Pompeian Room originally designed to house the 4th Earl of Aylesford’s Etruscan vase collection. The Pleasure Grounds and landscaping surrounding the house were designed by ‘Capability’ Brown and today include a Japanese bridge, a rose garden and a newly restored walled garden.
