The hall was demolished in the 1750s, but some of the barns still exist. One of these barns contains a plaster frieze depicting a hunting scene.
The porch, dated 1584, was remove to the grounds of Batchacre Hall in the mid-eighteenth century. It remains there to this day.
The print was commissioned by Dr. Robert Plot for his book 'Natural History of Staffordshire', published in 1686.
