Originally built in the early 1700's, the estate at Felix Hall was built in the tradition of a Palladian Mansion along with its collection of estate buildings which occupy the grounds. The estate was purchased by the Weston family in 1793 and was significantly altered in the early 19th century, possibly on the occasion of Charles Callis Weston's ennoblement as Lord Weston of Rivenhall. However, as with many larger houses, a reduction in size was thought prudent and so the estate buildings such as the Orangery were removed and have been separately converted enhancing the overall appeal of this once grand estate.
