History
The house was built in the late 16th century, possibly 1597 for Anthony Felton. In 1813 Playford Hall was leased to Thomas Clarkson by Frederick, 5th Earl of Bristol. It had alternations in 1700 for Sir Thomas Felton and 1871 by Richard Makilwaine Phipson. Playford Hall was requisitioned during the Second World War. On 16 March 1966 Playford Hall was Grade II* listed as "Playford Hall and Attached Revetments Around The Most Inner Bank of The Enclosing Moat" though the bridge and revetments to the south arm of the moat were listed (as Grade II) separately as "Bridge and Revetments To The South Arm of The Moat Surrounding Playford Hall" on 25 January 1985. On 3 May 1994 the moated site became a scheduled monument.
