Our story
A farmhouse with 300 years of history
Hamps Hall began life as Field House, a farmhouse first recorded in 1733. It grew into an 80-acre farm, survived a fire in 1900 and watched the Manifold Light Railway being built in the valley below.
Since 2006 we’ve restored the original stone buildings into Hamps Hall and Hamps Barn.
