William Hutchinson (1763-1826) built Eggleston Hall in about 1817.
He was the son of Timothy Hutchinson (1732-1810) who owned the Manor of Eggleston and an existing house on the same site as the present Hall.
This previous house was described in 1779 as being white with turrets.
When Timothy died in 1810 William inherited the property.

William married in 1789 Mary Byam (1772-1826) who was the daughter of the wealthy landowner Martin Byam of Antigua.
They had no children so when William died in 1826 his younger brother George Peter Hutchinson (1767-1833) inherited the Hall.

George obtained a B. A from the University of Cambridge.
In 1788 he entered the Queens Own Dragoons and rose rapidly through the ranks to become a Major.
In 1815 he married Elizabeth Grubb.
When he died in 1833 the Hall was inherited by his eldest son William Hutchinson (1816 -1842).
He died in 1842 at the age of only 26 and the property was passed to his younger brother Timothy Hutchinson (1818-1904).

Timothy lived at Eggleston Hall for the next 62 years.
He was born in 1818 and in 1842 married Elizabeth Sophia Wilkinson, the daughter of John Wilkinson of Welton Grange.
The couple had four sons and two daughters.
The 1881 Census shows Timothy and Elizabeth living at the Hall with some of their children and a butler, a housekeeper, two footmen, a ladies maid, an upper house maid, two house maids, a kitchen maid, two laundry maids and a scullery maid.

When Timothy died in 1904 his eldest son Cecil William Hutchinson (1844-1917) inherited the Hall.
In 1874 he married Clara Henrietta Frank and the couple had two sons and one daughter.
His eldest son Captain William Regis Claude Hutchinson (1875-1961) became the owner of the property in 1917 when Cecil died.
In 1919 he advertised the whole 10,000 acres for sale.
The advertisement is shown at this reference.
The Hall was bought by Sir William Creswell Gray for his son William returning safely from World War I. He was a Captain in the 3rd Battalion, Yorkshire Regiment and was mentioned in despatches.
He was wounded and became a POW so his return was a joyous occasion.
The Hall is still owned by the Gray family today.
