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 from the landscaped pleasure 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 subsequently demolished.
The once private pleasure gardens of Campsall Hall are now accessible to everyone for enjoyment and recreation.
The rich diverse habitat found at Campsall Country Park includes open grassland, meadow, ponds and wet and dry mixed semi-natural broadleaf and Yew woodland. There are also some ornamental specimen trees - remnants of the Campsall Hall pleasure garden. The wet woodland is of particular importance as a habitat for avian and invertebrate species. The park is maintained by Doncaster Council.
