Thornham Hall was a Tudor red brick moated hall with a classic straight and gated drive through the Park. It was expanded with a Georgian façade and, by the 19th century, it boasted 120 rooms and 27 gardeners who tended 25 acres of formal gardens. The agricultural decline which followed the failure of the potato harvest in the 1890s and the repeal of the Corn Laws led to two-thirds of the old hall being pulled down at the turn of the 20th century. The final third burned down in the late 1940s. There is now a modern 20th century hall on the original site. Walks and walled gardens are open to the public.

The hall offers accommodation for weekend breaks and have facilities for wedding receptions, private parties, conferences & functions.
