The Hall
The Hall was built by Thomas Riply in the 1720s for Horatio Walpole, politician, diplomat and younger brother of Britains first Prime Minister - Sir Robert Walpole. Other members of the family made alterations in the early 19th century, including adding the Wing and enclosing the Park. On the death of the 3rd Earl in 1858 the Hall was abandoned. The property was restored when the 5th Earl moved back in 1905. The present Lord Walpole inherited the property in 1989. Since then there has been a programme of reorganisation, conservation and research into the history of the family, Hall and Park using the extensive and previously neglected archives. Family portrait collection.
The Park contains evidence of the village of Woterton and its round church tower can still be seen. The 18th Century walled garden is now let and run by Barker Organics as a smallholding.
