History

In the 18th century Hall Place came into the ownership of the Dashwood family. Sir Francis Dashwood was a politician and Chancellor of the Exchequer from 1762-1763, but he was also a known rake and founder of the secret and immoral Hellfire Club.

From 1795 Hall Place was leased as a school for young gentlemen and Maitland Dashwood, grandson of Sir Francis, made the next set of significant changes to the fabric of Hall Place. Beginning in the 1870s, Maitland and his architect Robert William Edis added the lodge, linked the house to the water mains and altered the interior by adding much of the fine wood panelling and parquet flooring.

The last tenant of Hall Place was Lady Limerick who lived in the house alone from 1917 - 1943. She added a number of mock-Tudor features including beams and fireplaces. Lady Limerick and the house appeared in a 1922 edition of County Life Magazine.
