4 Loxley Hall stands close to the church, west of the green, on the road to Wellesbourne. It is largely a modern building, but abundant traces of red Kenilworth sandstone in the cellars may indicate that it is on the site of a grange of the Priors of Kenilworth, who held the manor. It includes also a late-17th-century portion of the house with 10 hearths mentioned in 1667. It was largely rebuilt by John Milward about 1850.
5 Lovie comments that Loxley Hall is a contemporary garden of significance in the District but its future is uncertain.
