The History of Pierremont Hall
The History
Built in 1785 as a private residence, Pierremont Hall has been home to many and is now open to the community for public and private events. The building is Grade II Listed, located in the heart of town. This newly renovated building is a beacon of history, showcasing the towns historical character. The Hall was built in 1785 for Thomas Forsyth and designed by Samuel Pepys Cockerell. The Duchess of Kent and a young Princess Victoria holidayed at Pierremont in 1826 – 1836. It knew various owners until its sale in 1896 to Leonard Posnett who used it as a school. Most of the original 30 acres of land were developed as housing and the building and remaining park were sold to the Urban District Council in 1927.
War
Pierremont Hall holds many secret gems on the town’s history. Beneath the grounds of the Hall lays an air raid shelter, designed to hold 150 people who would have accessed the shelters through tunnels all around Broadstairs town, sheltering council employees and the community during raids.
