Boys Hall was originally built by the Boys (previously De Bois) family in 1616. Bricks and timber from a nearby roundel house called Sevington extended the property in the mid 1600s and further additions to the house were made during the Victorian era. The original family occupied this magnifiocent hall for many years. They were known as farmers and local gentry, but were also suspected of being involved with smuggling. The Hall though imposing today must have been an incredible sight in the 1600's probably a modern beast by standards then. With 10 rooms and 6 reception rooms and a recent sale price of £1,250,000, this amazing structure must have been stunning in the 1600s and with recent renovations restoring it to its former glory after a period of neglet, it still dazzles today. The hall is thought to be one of the most haunted buildings in England. People have been pushed or prodded by unseen hands and pictures have refused to stay on the wall in certain parts of the house. A young Irishman was supposedly killed in a duel in the Hall's grounds after a scandal involving an English officer's wife. Years later a woman's skeleton, dressed in the Irishman's clothes, was found buried under the floor. Since then, a woman's spirit has been spotted in various parts of the Hall.
