Earlier Houses: The earlier building of the Hospitallers was demolished, probably in the 17th century.

House & Family History: In the 12th century the Newland Hall Estate was a preceptory of the Knights Hospitallers (Order of Knights of the Hospital of Saint John of Jerusalem), founded at the time of King John. Newland Hall was originally a building from whence the knights left to fight in the Crusades in the Holy Land. In the 19th century the Estate was mined for coal by Locke & Co., who named a mine St. John's Colliery (in reference to its medieval association). In 2000 the Newland Park Estate was purchased by farmer Andrew Hughes, who returned the Estate to a mix of agriculture and nature reserve. The Hall itself was demolished in 1920, though a number of outbuildings are extant.

Garden & Outbuildings: The Stables of 1745 were eventually converted into a house; they became derelict in the late 20th century.
