The building has a troubled history.

A partial structural collapse in 1927 killed 14 local people. A fire five years later devastated a historic [[windmill]] on its grounds. Bobby Millichamp, the farmhand tried and hanged for causing the blaze, was later proven innocent. His brother, Arthur, was tried and hanged for the same offence in 1936.
