A Grade I listed building, the hall was designated a house of outstanding architectural and historical interest and is a fine example of a small Carolean style manor house.

By the time of the Norman Conquest, the manor of Whitmore was held by one Richard the Forester.

The estate passed to the Mainwaring family in 1519, through the descendants of a Boterel heiress, Alice Boghay.

One of the tenants, pottery manufacturer Thomas Twyford, occupied the hall for 30 years.

The original hall was encased in red brick during the reign of Charles II and completed in about 1676.
