This house was built by William Hutton in 1768 and was occupied by the Hutton family until 1908 when it was sold to J D Sandars.

Sandars and the son who succeeded him after the First World War made alterations to the north front (seen here) and also to the interior (in 1934).

This is the south elevation of the original (1774-80) Hall built for William Hutton.
