The Hall was home to the Spencer-Stanhope family and dates from the 18th century, largely financed by profits from the local iron and coal industries. The Hall is now owned by Barnsley MBC and is a museum with collections of fine furniture, paintings, ceramics and glassware. It also houses the Regimental Museum of the 13th/18th Royal Hussars (Queen Mary's Own) and the Light Dragoons (of 'Charge of the Light Brigade' fame).
