Located in a picturesque part of Derbyshire, Eyam Hall is an unspoilt example of a gritstone Jacobean manor house. It is a Grade II* listed building situated to the west of St Lawrence's Church in the civil parish of Eyam. While the Wright family were historically based in Longstone, Thomas Wright is credited with building the hall on land given to him by his father, William.
Following his father, Thomas's son John moved his branch of the family to Eyam after selling his father's house in Unthank. The hall has remained with the Wright family for nine generations. Although the National Trust leased the building from 2013 until 2018, it has since returned to the family's full-time ownership.
The hall and its gardens open at different times of the year, while there is a craft centre and restaurant adjacent to the hall. The shops and cafe are open all year round, except for January, from 10 a.m. to 4.30 p.m.
