It was built for Charles Herbert Pierrepont, 2nd Earl Manvers and the Lord of the Manor of Beighton in 1842, and initially was a hotel with spa baths beneath. Subsequently it was used for many years as private dwellings. In the 1973 it was given Grade II listed building status. The building was restored in 2000/2001 and now opens for tours of the bathhouse and grounds.
