Brougham Hall has lived a chequered life. At the time of the Norman Conquest it was in the hands of the Veteriponts, ancestors to the Cliffords. It was Lady Anne who oversaw the renovation of the hall in 1659.

However, the hall's alterations did not stop there and in the 19th century it became the residence of the Lord Chancellor of England, earning it the moniker of the 'Windsor of the North'.

Today there are some small shops and a cafe. There are plans afoot to open a museum and gallery.
