The Hamels estate lands were mentioned in the Doomsday book and were passed on to English nobility in 1534, and owned by King Henry Vlll. The Grade ll listed mansion itself was built by John Brograve in around c. 1590, , however it boasts a very changeable history since then, having been the home over the centuries to aristocracy, politicians, a school, and finally served as the headquarters of a local building company, Hubert C Leach & Co. from 1970 to 2015. The facade of the building, over time, has had some changes associated with the period in which the work was carried out, and this , has culminated in some wonderful architectural design features.
