[2] The hall was built on the site of a timbered house from the Tudor period soon after 1740 by Samuel Hayward, as a wedding present for his wife, Catherine.

The oldest part of the building faces up towards the side garden and the main front was added a little later.

In 1865 a top floor, new roof, two extensions and the off-centre clock tower were added which updated the building dramatically.

In 1903 the whole estate covering 655 acres (2.65 km2) including land, houses and farms was split up and offered for sale.

It was purchased at auction and many improvements were made, after 1943 all properties were put on the market including household items, fixtures and fine pieces of furniture were sold.

After completing his education William worked for the East India Company in Bengal for fourteen years after which he returned home in 1772 and bought Maesllwch Castle and estate in Radnorshire.

[9] Reverend De Winton who had married Anna Maria Jacoba Chiappini in 1809 owned Wallsworth Hall until his death in 1851.

Thomas De Winton (1814-1901) resided at Wallsworth Hall for about 50 years and made many improvements.
