Work started on the penultimate building around 1730 and it was used as a hunting lodge by Phillipa Howard, daughter of Henry Howard, 6th Duke of Norfolk, and her husband.[2] The building as shown was only used for part of the year.[1] Rebuilt around 1870 by Lord Howard of Glossop[3] and sold to the council in 1924 it became Kingsmoor School and was eventually demolished around 1950. The house lies beneath a small housing estate with road names such as Old Hall Close and Park Close. The original terraced gardens now form Manor Park.
