History: The Marriott Hanbury Manorhotel was originally a Jacobean style mansion built in 1890 by Edmund Hanbury as a present for his wife. However a building has been sited on this estate since the 1300's. Between 1923 and 1987 the mansion was used as a catholic girls school called Poles before its use as a hotel in the 1990's. When the hotel development took place the aim was to both keep true to its original look while adding modern amenities and living areas. The kitchen was enlarged, a conservatory added, lifts installed, bedrooms were made en-suite and an entire new wing constructed. The transformation took 3 years of work and the hotel finally opened in 1990 .
