The Hall was built by Thomas Ripley in the 1720's for Horatio Walpole, politician, diplomat and younger brother of Britain's first Prime Minister - Sir Robert Walpole. Other members of the family made alterations in the early 19th century, including adding the wing and enclosing the Park. On the death of the 3" Earl in 1858 the Hall was abandoned and his son moved to Mannington. The property was restored when the Earl moved back in 1905. The present Lord Walpole inherited the property in 1989. Since then there has been a programme of reorganization, conservation and research into the history of the family, Hall and Park using rile extensive and previously neglected archives. The Park contains evidence of the village of Wolterton and its round church tower can still be seen. The18th Century walled garden is now let and run by Barker Organics as a smallholding.
