Well Hall was originally a 16th century moated manor house owned by the Roper Family. It was demolished in 1733 and replaced with Well Hall House. The surviving older buildings were used then used as farm buildings. Well Hall House was demolished in the summer of 1931 and the farm buildings, including the Tudor Barn, were bought by Woolwich Borough Council. The Tudor Barn was then converted into an art gallery and restaurant in 1936. The grounds of the house became Well Hall Pleasaunce Public Park.
