The Hall was built about 1702 on land owned by the Duke of Newcastle. The stables and out-buildings were built after 1740. The hall was modernised in the 1750s and Pevsner scholar of the history of art dated the drawing room ceiling to 1751. The Hall, in 1770, like many other buildings in the area, would have to have paid Window Tax. Some houses in the village blocked up windows to save money. Documents show that the owners of the Hall did not pay the tax, possibly as it was a rented property. At this time a new saying was coined, ‘Daylight Robbery’.

With this photo wall, you can be Robin Hood yourself. There are two peepholes!

Very busy, with a lot of dog walkers, for those with nervous dogs aim for a quieter time.

Well worth a visit

In 1205 King John paid an annual stipend of 4 shillings to the hermit of Clipstone who sang in St Edwin's Chapel in Birchwude (Birklands Wood). The chapel at that time was part of the landscape of Royal Deer Park and Palace of the King's Houses (now known as King John's Palace) that were the royal heart of Medieval Sherwood Forest. The location of the chapel was marked on the 1630 map of Clipstone made by William Senior of William Cavendish Earl of Newcastle. The location is now marked on the ground by an iron cross erected in 1912 by the Duke of Portland.
