Nether Hall

Nether Hall was built by the Copley family, probably in the early 18th century.   Originally it stood in its own parkland. In the mid Georgian era the house was noted for its musical evenings hosted by Robert Copley.  It has had many alterations since but still retains its character.   The estate was sold in the late 19th century and housing surrounded the mansion as it still does today..   It has had many uses in the past including a school, military headquarters and, eventually the offices of Doncaster Rural District Council who made a number of additions, in many ways making it more impressive, particularly the interior.  When the new Civic Offices were built it was surplus to MBC  requirements and was sold becoming a House in Multiple Occupation.
