A seventeenth-century house stood here until 1835, when it was rebuilt in the Tudor style by Edward Harbord, 3rd Baron Suffield.
However, the third Baron died from injuries sustained in a riding accident on the day of the wedding, and the house was adapted for the use of the dowager baroness.
Owners included the Batcheler family (18th century), the Suffields, who rebuilt the house, and latterly the Birkbecks.
The hall's Italianate watertower, which stood among outbuildings, now derelict, is visible from the roads around the park.
Substantial estate buildings survive, and part of the house remains, albeit in derelict condition.
