The hall was built by the Boys family (previously De Bois) in 1616. In nearby Sevington a roundel house called Sevington moat was demolished in 1631 and the bricks and timber from this were used to extend the hall. Further victorian additions were made in 1833. The Boys family lived there for many years and were known as local gentry and farmers, but it is also thought they were involved in smuggling. The hall and gardens are now open to the public and it is also a wedding venue.
There have been a few ghost witnessed at the hall the most popular being John the drunk, a young woman and a stable master named Thomas, also people have been touched and pictures refuse to stay up in some parts of the house.
