The building was designed as a mansion for the Copley family of Sprotbrough[2] and was completed in the early to mid 18th century.[1]
Sir Fitzroy Maclean, 8th Baronet sold an estate in Barbados with 150 slaves for £14,285 and purchased Nether Hall in 1841.[3]
It became a private school in the 1870s[4] and then became the headquarters of the Queen's Own Yorkshire Dragoons in the early 20th century.[5] The regiment was mobilised at Nether Hall in August 1914 before being deployed to the Western Front.[6] The hall was decommissioned after the war and acquired by Doncaster Rural District Council in 1921;[4] a rear wing was built for use as a council chamber.[1] Following the Local Government Act 1974 the hall was used to accommodate the finance department of the Metropolitan Borough of Doncaster.[4] After the finance department moved to new civic offices in Sir Nigel Gresley Square in 2013, Nether Hall was sold at auction for £410,000 in 2014.[7] The building was offered for sale by auction again, by Allsop of London, with a guide price of £425,000 or more, in September 2023.[8]
