Wood Norton Hall

The entrance gate to Wood Norton Hall

Wood Norton Hall is a Grade II* listed[1] Victorian stately home to the northwest of Evesham, Worcestershire, England. It was the last home in England of Prince Philippe, Duke of Orléans, who claimed the throne of France.

Used by the BBC during World War II as an emergency broadcasting centre and a station for listening to enemy radio broadcasts, it became the accommodation for the BBC's engineering training college that grew up in its grounds. The BBC retained purpose-built facilities in the grounds for technical training after selling the Hall, which became a hotel.
