Background
History
The current house was first constructed in 1836 for John Burton Philips of J. & N. Philips textiles (previously a High Sheriff of Staffordshire) and his wife, Joanna. However, the Philips family first bought the estate in the 1680s, and the current house replaced an existing Georgian mansion. The architect was Thomas Johnson of Lichfield. Notable guests who have visited The Heath House over the years include Florence Nightingale, who came to the house after the Crimean War. The Heath House was requisitioned for the Red Cross during World War II, and was used as an auxiliary hospital for military personnel. After the war the property was returned to the Philips family.
