Information from (S2).

Built for Edmund Britiffe, paymaster to the king. On the early 18th century flint and brick barn to the north are his initials in iron. Another barn to the north dates to about 1700 and seems to have started as a house, been converted to a stock-house, then back to a house. It has an attached stock shed. The complex also has a pair of early 19th century pig sties. Information from (S3).

March 2009. Building recording.
The barns at Hunworth Hall were subject to listed building consent for conversion and alterations. The buildings consist of a former farmhouse dated from the decorative brick work to around 1700. The house was converted into a granary and cartshed some time after the tithe map of 1839/40, which involved a complete rebuilding leaving only the gable-ends and the north east wall of the farmhouse. At approximately the same time as the conversion a stable was added to the north-west gable-end on a different alignment and the removal of other buildings abutting the farmhouse shown on the tithe map. The granary was converted into a dwelling in the 1960s.
