Breedon Hall, Breedon on the Hill in north-west Leicestershire, is a house of historical significance and is listed on the English Heritage Register.[1] In 1620 it was a small timber-framed cottage. Soon after it was bought by the Curzon family and was successively enlarged until 1777 when it was given a new Georgian front. It was the ancestral home of the Curzons for over three centuries and then bought by the Shields family. Today it is owned by the Meynell family and provides bed-and-breakfast accommodation.
