Rodborough Fort was originally an inhabited folly called George Fort, built around 1761 by a gentlemen named George Hawker. It was a single-story 5 bay gothic building with a number of cannon which stood on a bastion.
In 1869 the then owner Alexander Halcombe had the property rebuilt as a tudor house with a tower at its entrance and surrounded by a defensive wall with gateways
