The scheduling description describes this as a rare example of a medieval hall. The older part of the building, forming the cross range to the rear of the projecting gabled hall is thought to have been built in the early 13th century. The forward range, thought to be a solar ( a large open hall) was added around 1340, the now blocked window being added in the 15th century. In the early 18th century the owners, the Lindley family, built Skegby Hall, and the manor house was converted to a farm buildings and cottages, eventually falling into disrepair during the 19th or early 20thy century. Listed Grade II and also a Scheduled Monument.
