Hubbard’s Hall Estate
Hubbard’s Hall. The Hall is outside the town boundaries but within the parish and a dependent of Harlowbury. In the 12th it was a real manor holding courts and having all sorts of rights. The name of the holder seems to have been Hubert which gradually changed to Hubbard.  By the 14th they were a major local family – eventually one of them was one of Henry VII’s chief secretaries. After that it had a succession of important owners.  The house was a large hall divided into two rooms in the 17th and there were alterations in the 18th and 19th century additions were made and in the 20th a wing was added from designs by Clough Williams -Ellis. Now a children’s home
