Campsall Hall was the home of the Frank family for several generations. The hall and grounds were extensively enlarged during the time of Richard Frank (1698-1762). The fine Georgian house no longer stands but we can still benefit the landscaped gardens. The examples of london plane, wellingtonia, beech and yew that we see today were first planted by Richard Frank.
Much of the estate was sold for housing development in the 1950's, after which the Hall fell into a ruinous state and was demolished.
The once private pleasure gardens of Campsall Hall are now accessible to everyone for enjoyment and recreation.
The rich habitat diversity that is found at Campsall Country Park is being maintained by Doncaster Council for future generations - for your children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren.
