Originally Willersley Hall, it was built for the industrialist Sir Richard Arkwright, known for the development of the water-powered spinning frame. However he never lived there: in 1791, when the building was nearly finished, a fire broke out and before the damage could be repaired Arkwright died. Now a Grade II* listed building, it was operating as a hotel but it closed because of the pandemic and is now up for sale.
