History
Established in 2011.
The Colville family bought the West Lexham farm buildings together with the remaining 21 acres of land in 1997, and soon began the process of renovating the neglected buildings. At first it was a place for the Colvilles to bring their own creative ideas into being, both in renovating the buildings and in their work throughout the property. Upon the tragic death of Lord Colville however, Edmund went ahead with their mutual dream of opening West Lexham to the public as a place for education, relaxation and celebration of community. West Lexham, the business, was born in 2011.
Planning was granted for the full conversion of the site but it had it's humble beginnings in the glamping site and bohemian tents fitted into the old pigsties in the 1950s piggery. Unfortunately, a fire laid waste to this building in 2012 and the business was shut for a year while Edmund and Isabelle took the opportunity to redecorate, rebuild and add to the remaining buildings to create the pantheon of properties
