Jonas Clarke a wiredrawer from Barnsley bought the hall in 1792 (www.a2a.or.uk :-Records of the Clarke Family of Noblethorpe Hall, Silkstone). The Hall itself 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 developed (Barnsley Archive Service 1995, 160). The landscape prior to the development of the park is uncertain but Silkstone was a fairly substantial medieval town so the open fields may have stretched this far. However, there is no legibility of these enclosures. 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.
