Summary
The present Postwick Hall incorporates elements of a building present on the site in 1576, when it was named as the residence of a 'gent', a title usually associated with the lord of a manor. However, most of what is now visible dates to after 1780, and the majority of the façade is likely to be the responsibility of Lord Roseberry, who acquired the estate in the early 19th century. The presence of a witch bottle under the farm building suggests the presence of other buildings alongside the hall during the 17th century.
