Helina,
Aston Hall was built by the Holte family, between 1618-1635. It was one of the last Jacobean properties built. Aston Hall had extensive land at that time and , somewhere in the 1640s, Charles 1 stayed there. The Holte family were Royalists and, during the Civil War, was attacked by Parliamentarian troops. A cannon ball, which pierced the wall, is still on display. The house is now owned by Birmingham City Council. Every two years, just before Christmas, there is a candlelit display where actors, in period costume, act out scenes from the Charles 1 period. It is said that Aston Hall is haunted.
Aston Hall is next to Aston Villa footbal ground and close to Spagetti junction link of the M6 and M38 Expressway.

Its never too late to find your "roots".

One of my distant relatives married one of the ancestors of the orignal Thomas Holte (he was a Thomas Holte also) and as a child I remember going to Aston Hall when it was still had some sort of residence this was in the 40's, and I was only about 5 or 6. If I knew how to I would put up some photos of my Mum in 1930 at Aston Hall dressed up in the costume of the period.

Wasn't that the little room where the young girl of the family was imprisoned because she wouldn't marry the man the family wanted her to marry? Or, maybe, I have got it wrong.
