Sir Walter Chetwynd, owner of Ingestre Hall, purchased the Brocton Estate (3 miles from Ingestre) for his nephew, another Walter Chetwynd who moved into Brocton Manor with his wife Mary, the daughter of William Sneyd of Keele.

Their son William demolished the Manor House and built Brocton Hall in about 1760. The Hall stayed in the family eventually being owned by Mrs Mary Chetwynd, widow of Charles Chetwynd (d 1895). It was Mary Chetwynd who sold it to the Club in 1923.

When the Hall was acquired it was a three storey building that seen better days, there was no electricity and no heating. It was quickly converted into a comfortable club house with accommodation on the top two floors, the first floor for the resident secretary and lady visitors.

The top floor was converted into a 'dormy' house for visiting groups. Up to thirty visitors could be catered for and it provided valuable income for the club up to the start of the Second World War.

In October 1939 plumbers repairing the lead guttering accidentally started a fire that destroyed the top storey and damaged other areas. It was impracticable to rebuild in wartime and the building was repaired to leave the two storey building we see today.

In 1993 an extension was built to provide a large dining/function room whilst maintaining the original design featuresof the original building.

In 2007 a major project was undertaken to refurbish the mens' locker rooms and improve other features of the basement area in order to meet current Health and Safety requirements.

This involved remodelling  the south west facade of the building, which is shown in the photo on the left and creating new access corridors and stairs.

Chris Cooper RIBA, the architect, created a series of articles titled "The Basement Chronicles" detailing some of the interesting features and problems that were unearthed as building work progressed.
