Dating from the fifteenth or sixteenth centuries, it has been protected since 1958 as a listed building (Grade I).

It was converted into a Wool Hall in the late seventeenth century.

[2] It was restored by Princess Louise, Duchess of Argyll around 1911 who then transferred it to Mrs Culver and it became the Railway Women's Convalescent Home.

After the home closed, it was acquired by Trust Houses and incorporated into the Swan Hotel in 1963.
