The Hall, seen from Flatgate, was built as ‘the house of a small manor called Paradise’. Mainly Georgian, it may have its origins in the 17th century. The Worsop family lived here for 147 years and added many rooms and features including rare panelling in the dining room. In 1864 the Yorkshire Show was held on the ground behind the house. Around 1900 a grand ballroom was added.
