Coldham Hall - Claudia Schiffer & Matthew Vaughn's House

Coldham Hall is a large Tudor country house that was constructed in 1574 for Sir Robert Rookwood (or Rokewood) of Stanningfield. A notable feature of this two-story building is the great hall, with a long gallery in the roof space some 32 meters long, running from east to west. Internal alterations undertaken around 1770 include a Roman Catholic chapel with delicate plasterwork, leading from the long gallery.

Mid-nineteenth century alterations, including loggias on the east and south side, are now removed, but various window alterations at the rear and a service wing at the north end remain. The house was restored around 1980.

Supermodel Claudia Schiffer and her film producer husband Matthew Vaughn purchased Coldham Hall in 2002.

Coldham Hall, the large 16th Century house that the German beauty and her husband bought, is reputed to be haunted by several ghosts, including that of a 17th Century nun called Sister Penelope.

A fire on the property in 2014 destroyed several buildings in the grounds, but did not reach the hall itself.
