  • House & Family History: During World War I the house served as an Officers' Training Corps center. In 1919 Hagley Hall was sold to the South Staffordshire Waterworks Company, who demolished most of the house over a period of several years. The greatly-reduced-in-size house was purchased in 1967 by Rugeley Council, who used the building as arts center until the site was completely developed for housing in the 1980s.
