[1] The Earl of Dartmouth had the house rebuilt, by William Smith of Tettenhall, a leading master-builder of the area.

From 1853 William Legge, 5th Earl of Dartmouth lived at Patshull Hall in Staffordshire; it is supposed that his move away was due to the industrial development of West Bromwich.

[5] In the 1860s Frances Laetitia Selwyn was running an Anglican boarding school here and A. M. Irvine and Florence Gadesden were notable pupils.

[5] In 1907 the Reverend Harold Burden and his wife Katherine opened the hall as an Industrial School for Mentally Defective Children, specified in 1908 to accommodate 200 boys.

[8] The lodge of Sandwell Hall survives, within the roundabout of Junction 1 of the M5 Motorway, at grid reference SP 0185 9041; it is a Grade II listed building.

It is a pedimented gateway with Doric columns, thought to be built by William Smith; a curved flanking wall on its left also survives.
