Hewell Grange is a former country house in Tardebigge, Worcestershire, England.

Constructed in the Jacobethan style, it was "perhaps the last Victorian prodigy house".

The mansion was used to house young offenders, and later low-risk prisoners, while adult prisons were built in the grounds. The site was subsequently consolidated as HM Prison Hewell. In 2019, the Ministry of Justice announced the closure of the Category D open prison housed in Hewell Grange, after a highly critical report by Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Prisons. The Windsor-Clive family descended from Walter FitzOther, Constable of Windsor Castle during the reign of William the Conqueror. They came to Tardebigge in the 16th century and over the next two centuries expanded their land holdings in Worcestershire, Shropshire and South Wales. The development of the South Wales Coalfield in the 18th and 19th centuries saw their wealth greatly increase, as the coal was transported worldwide from their ports at Barry and Penarth. At his coming of age in 1878 Robert Windsor-Clive inherited some 30,500 acres and an income from ground rents and port royalties which allowed him to undertake the building of Hewell Grange at a time when many landed aristocrats were facing retrenchment due to the Agricultural Depression. The Windsor-Clives lived in their new home for less than 50 years before consolidating their estates in Shropshire in the mid-20th century. Hewell Grange is a Grade I listed building, its structure, interiors and setting having survived remarkably well despite over 70 years of institutional use. The park surrounding the house was landscaped by both Capability Brown and Humphry Repton and is graded II* on the National Register of Historic Parks and Gardens. The lake is a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI). The ruins of an earlier hall stand near to the lake. (en)
  • Hewell Grange är ett engelskt country house som ligger i Tardebigge i Worcestershire, West Midlands i England. Hewell Grange har kallats för "ett av de viktigaste engelska country house från sent 1800-tal" och det byggdes om av George Frederick Bodley och Thomas Garner mellan 1884 och 1891 för Robert Windsor-Clive, 1:e earl av Plymouths räkning. Parken runtomkring skapades av Lancelot "Capability" Brown och Humphry Repton och den är omnämnd i National Register of Historic Parks and Gardens. Sjön vid herrgården har blivit utsedd till en Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI). Det finns även ett Great Western Railway-ånglok med nummer 6839 som går under namnet Hewell Grange. Marken runt Hewell Grange var tidigare en del av klostret Bordesley Abbey, men vid klosterupplösningen överläts fastigheten till Thomas Windsor Hickman. Släkten Windsor-Clive ägde sedan fastigheten fram till 1900-talet, då den såldes till staten. Byggnaden användes som ett slags ungdomsfängelse mellan 1946 och 1991 innan det gjordes om till ett fängelse, av typen öppen anstalt, vid namn HM Prison Hewell. (sv)
