The current hall on this site was rebuilt in 1838 by Robert Clarke who made his money from coal mining in the area. At this time the gardens and parkland were also developed (Barnsley Archive Service 1995, 160). The earlier building was bought by Jonas Clarke a wiredrawer from Barnsley in 1792 (www.a2a.or.uk :- Records of the Clarke Family of Noblethorpe Hall, Silkstone). The date of this building is uncertain but there was probably a manor house on this site. The hall has been used as a hotel in the past but is now once again a private residence. The hothouse and the orchards around the hall have not survived.
