The Ilam estate was bought from the Port family by Jesse Watts Russell, a wealthy manufacturer, in the early 19th century. Between 1821 and 1826 he rebuilt Ilam Hall in the Gothic style, using the architect John Shaw the Elder. Originally the hall was a large mansion house, most of which was demolished during the 1930s. It became a youth hostel.
