The Warner Family at Quorndon Hall. 1855 – 1919

The Warner family who had gained their wealth from the Loughborough wool and hosiery industry owned the Quorn Hall Estate for over 60 years. This article takes a closer look at the life of this interesting and community spirited family during the time that Quorn was their home.

The family lived during a time of the change, in the village from an agricultural to an industrial based economy and internationally the Empire was in decline and the Great War was looming.

In Quorn they were benefactors to St Bartholomew's Church and the National School, they provided funding for community amenities. They also, contributed to the County and to the future Commonwealth.

The article has been pieced together from the Quorn Village Museum artefacts, newspaper articles, websites and from the book ‘The Ubiquitous Warner Family of Loughborough’ by D.E.Hewitt.
