    House & Family History: Milton is a late 18th century white brick house that was probably inspired by John Sloane's 1788 "Plans, Elevations and Sections of Buildings." In 1948 Milton Hall was sold to the Eastern Electricity Board, who used it as a regional headquarters until the 1980s. Between 1983 and 1985 Sinclair Research Ltd. converted the house into office space.
