History

The Wright family were landowners in Eyam although their family was historically based in Longstone.[3] William Wright gave his land in Eyam to his second son Thomas who is credited with building the hall.Script error: No such module "Unsubst". Thomas's son John sold his father's house in Unthank and based his branch of the family in Eyam.[4] The hall began life as a generous wedding present in 1671 for John Wright and his new wife Elizabeth.Script error: No such module "Unsubst". It has been in the Wright family for nine generations and is currently a family home and wedding venue that opens at different times of the year.Script error: No such module "Unsubst". The historic house is situated in picturesque part of Derbyshire and is an unspoilt example of a gritstone Jacobean manor house.[1] The National Trust leased the hall for 5 years in March 2013, however, their lease has now ended and the Hall is back in the hands of the family full-time.[5]
