The remains of a large house, traditionally said to have been erected about the beginning of the fifteenth century, and called the Old Hall, were taken down about forty-five years ago. Another house, in a better situation, was built, about the year 1500, by Thomas Hall; and, in 1697, John Hall made large additions, and built offices, part of which now remain, with his initials and dates. In 1782, the whole of the house was taken down by the late proprietor, William Hall, esq. who erected the present mansion.
