Background
History
The present hall dates back to circa 1500; it was acquired by the Highmore family in 1540, by James Spedding (squire to Lord Egremont) in 1748 and then by Sir Frederick Fletcher-Vane (who had the courtyard and chapel added) in 1796. Ownership then passed to John Boustead (who owned coffee plantations in Ceylon and who had the hall extensively enlarged) in 1850. It was acquired by the Graves family (the current owners) in 1976.
