The present-day Dilston Hall is a comparatively modern building in the grounds of Dilston Castle. The original Jacobean Hall was demolished in the 18th Century. Dilston Hall is the home of the residential Mencap College of Further Education. Lord (Brian) Rix, who had a daughter with learning difficulties, was instrumental in the establishment of the College when the building was converted from its previous use of maternity home.
