George de Ligne Gregory’s wealth included a smaller estate at Hungerton and Denton. About 12 years after the enclosure of the heath, he decided to live at Hungerton, and work started on the Hall and stables in 1782. The building was finished three years later, in 1785. After WWII, Sir Denis and Lady Elizabeth Le Marchant decided to repair the Hall – the state that the army had relinquished it in was so poor that serious consideration was given as to whether to pull the entire structure down.
