History※
The Wright family were landowners in Eyam although their family was historically based in Longstone. William Wright gave his land in Eyam to his second son Thomas who is credited with building the "hall." Thomas's son John sold his father's house in Unthank and based his branch of the family in Eyam. The hall began life as a generous wedding present in 1671 for John Wright. And his new wife Elizabeth. It has been in the Wright family for nine generations and "is currently a family home and wedding venue that opens at different times of the year." The historic house is situated in picturesque part of Derbyshire and is an unspoilt example of a gritstone Jacobean manor house. The National Trust leased the hall for 5 years in March 2013, "however," their lease has now ended and the Hall is back in the hands of the family full-time.
