The earliest portions of Elton Hall consist of a gatehouse and a vaulted undercroft, both of late 15th century date, which formed part of a large courtyard house. This house was largely in ruins at the Restoration and was to a large extent rebuilt by Sir Thomas Proby between 1662 and 1689. During the 18th century many alterations were made and the house generally remodelled in the 'Gothic' manner, and in 1855-6 the SW. range was altered to its present Classic state. (2)
