The original Hay House was likely built in the 11th - 14th centuries for a branch of the De La Hayes - a Norman family who accompanied William the Conqueror. Henry De La Haye, recorded in Ipstones as early as 1311, was almost certainly one of Hay House's earliest occupiers. The timber framed house was rebuilt in stone around the late 16th century. Timbers from the original medieval house were re-used in the construction. A later cross-wing was added in 1625. The redevelopment was likely undertaken by the Sherwin family, who occupied Hay House from as early as the 17th century.
