Originally there was an older manor house standing in this pretty area of the village. This house was the home of the Lanes, Toftes and Chibnalls. It contained 20 rooms and 13 hearths in 1678.

Orlingbury Hall was bought in 1706 by Richard Young and according to Justinian Isham was then immediately rebuilt in 1709. The entrance remains the original design and the house has nine bays. There is a 19th century addition of a service wing and a dovecote.

In 1937 the hall belonged to Mrs Jacques.
