The house has been in the Vavasour (Dawson after 1833) family since the 14th century.^[2] It may contain a medieval core, with a "Weston Hall" being mentioned in 1378. However, it was largely rebuilt during the reign of Elizabeth I, of which period it retains most external features.

There is also a notable Tudor or Jacobean banqueting house, called the Banqueting Hall, built for Sir Mager Vavasour, which is Grade I listed.^[4] It is 3 storeys high and has a stair turret with a gazebo at the top. There is a 16th century or earlier tithe barn to the South of the house, which is Grade II* listed.^[5]

The Hall and Banqueting Hall were formerly Grade II* listed, but were upgraded.^[1][4]
