HISTORICAL NOTE: this building added to the medieval
timber-framed house, now Stank Hall (qv), following the
purchase of the Beeston estate by Christopher Hodgson of York,
attorney to the Council of the North. John Hodgson of New Hall
was named in Charles I's charter for the Borough of Leeds. In
the C18 the property was probably tenanted and divided; the
Denison family were owners by the middle of the century and by
the early C19 it was the property of the Beckett family.
