History

Weston Hall's history is relatively unknown, due to a lack of documented evidence. It is believed that the main part of the Hall was built around 1550 as a small dower house - architectural evidence suggests however that it is Jacobean. Weston Hall was extended in 1660 into a three-gable structure with high-pitched roofs. The original builder and early occupants were unknown.

In 1904, the Hall was leased to Staffordshire County Council for use as an asylum and during the Second World War, it was requisitioned by the Army.

Weston Hall remained in the hands of the Council until 1950 when the Godwin family bought the property and converted it into flats.

By the early 1990s, the Hall was in a poor structural state. Stafford business man Paul Reynolds bought the property in 1992 and converted it into a restaurant with function suites and en-suite rooms. Work was completed in 2001 after nine years of restoration.
