Hatfeild Hall, although originally built between 1598 and 1608 for Gervase Hatfeild and his wife Grace, has little Jacobean about it now. Its arched windows typify the late eighteenth century gothic style and constitute much of its charm today. The Hall, most of which was built in 1775, remained in the Hatfeild family for almost 300 years. It was then sold in 1897 at an auction in this Strafford Arms, Wakefield, for £3,750.
