Annesley Hall, Nottinghamshire
- Annesley Hall, Nottinghamshire
Annesley Hall near Annesley in Nottinghamshire, England, is the ancestral home of the Chaworth-Musters family. Mary Chaworth who lived at the Hall was the boyhood lover of the poet Lord Byron, who lived at nearby Newstead Abbey. Byron's poem "The Dream" concerns the meeting of two lovers on Diadem Hill, part of The Misk Hills range, which belonged to the Annesley estate.
The uncle of the poet Byron had killed the then Lord Chaworth in a duel outside the house.
Mary Chaworth eventually married John Musters of Colwick Hall in 1805. Their teenage son, Charles Musters, sailed as a Volunteer 1st Class aboard HMS Beagle with Charles Darwin, but died of malaria in South America on May 19, 1832.
The Chaworth-Musters family became one of the most powerful families in Nottinghamshire.
The hall is now in private ownership.
