Peel House

Peel House is a mid-18th century building that was re-fronted in the early 19th century. It is constructed of red brick and has three storeys, featuring three sash windows with plain keyblocks and flat brick arches. The entrance is highlighted by a stuccoed Roman Doric porch with a moulded pediment, and there are decorative bands at the ground and second storeys. The ground storey includes a later one-windowed bay on the left-hand side. The building has corbelled wood eaves and a hipped slate roof. The interior has been significantly altered and modernised, including a Victorian staircase. A plaque next to the entrance notes that this was the home of Robert Peel, a notable industrialist from Burton, whose grandson, Sir Robert Peel, became Prime Minister in the mid-19th century.
