Friday Photo- Vesey House Sutton Coldfield

Bishop VeseyI posted about Vesey Manor last year, and this week I’m focusing on Vesey House, also in Sutton Coldfield, and also built by Bishop Vesey. Now a private residence, it dates from the 1500s and was once known as Ford Keepers Cottage. Today, it’s now a Grade-II listed building and is situated in the heart of Newhall Valley on Wylde Green Road. Having gone to school literally next door to the buidling, I have always been intrigued by this house and the its connections to Bishop Vesey. If you happen to pass it, you can’t miss its beautiful brick facade.
