History The Hall was originally built in 1616 by the Boys family who at that time were known as De BOIS, having originally landed in England from France at the time of the Norman Conquest. Over time their name was Anglicised through Boyce to Boys as we know it today.
Just a couple of miles away in Sevington is a protected moat site where once stood a roundel house called Sevington Moat. This was demolished in 1631 the bricks and timber were bought to Boys Hall to extend the property completing in 1632. Victorian additions were made.
The Boys family lived here for many years and were, so history states great farmers and landowners. They were also heavily involved in smuggling as most of the landed gentry were at that time.
The Hall though imposing today must have been an incredible sight in the 1600's probably a modern beast by standards then. Today it sits and reigns majestically and has done so for nearly 400 years.
