The house was built by the de Marnham family in the late 1200s. Out of the original complex only the Great Hall survives. Over the years along with the different owners, modernisation and extentions were carried out, in 1790 it was described as a pile of irregular half timbered buildings, black and white, with many numerous out houses and lofty walls.

West Bromwich Coporation saved the building from being demolished in 1950 which by then was hidden by plastering and cladding, and carried out extensive renovations. In 1961 it was opened as a restaurant by Ansells Brewery Ltd. It is still a restaurant and also a bar.

There a re thought to be a few ghost that are still wandering around including a man by the stairs, a young adult and a small child, also strange lights have been seen, unusual noises, people have reported that they have been touch and objects have been moved.
