Standish Hall was first built on its present site in 1574 by Edward Standish, somewhere near to where an older Manor House stood.
There have ben many alterations and additions to the Hall down the years and the form in which it was at its greatest extension was maintained until 1923, when large sections, including the oldest portion and the chapel, were pulled down and the building up until the present day conveys no impression of Standish Hall in it's heyday.
The original house of 1574 was H shaped, which was typical of the period, and was built of timber and plaster on a stone base. The middle section, which was black and white timbered, as it stood until 1923, was the oldest part. The south wing was rebuilt as a chapel in 1742/3, and in 1748 the three storey brick north wing was added. The Great Hall was originally 36 feet long by 17 feet wide and one of the rooms above it was oak panelled, probably in the late 17th century.
Of interest also were two carved oak mantlepieces which had been brought from Borwick Hall (where Ralph Standish's mother lived in 1715), and a panel on which were the Royal Arms with the Garter and motto. Another shield had the Arms of Bindloss of Borwick impaling Eltofts-Byndlos 1603 Eltofts.
Other interesting relics were a 17th century panelled ceiling and an 18th century mantel on which were the Royal Arms, without the Scottish and Irish quarters, enclosed by the Garter surmounted by a Crown with a motto and Lion and Griffin supporters. Another panel had the arms of Bindloss impaling Dalton and a fireplace had the arms of Standish impaling those of Howard.
