Daniel Lascelles bought the Plompton Estate c1755. Work on the stable block began c1757 and John Carr may have followed the design of Colen Campbell's stables at Houghton (Eden and Wragg, p38), c1760 John Carr began work on a new house to the south-west of the stables, but in 1762 Daniel Lascelles bought Goldsborough Hall (q.v.) and work stopped at Plumpton. It is likely that when the new house was demolished the south range of the stables was converted to make the present hall. W.A. Eden & R.B.
