History of the hall > Introduction
Introduction
The present Harrowden Hall was built in 1719 by Thomas Watson Wentworth, a son of Lord Rockingham, but there has been a house on this site since the 15th century.
For much of the time it has been the home of the Vaux family who were created barons by Henry VIII in 1523.
In 1975 it was bought by Wellingborough Golf Club to be its new Clubhouse after it had been saved from almost certain demolition by Mr. A.J. Macdonald Buchanan.
