The red-brick Georgian hall was built around 1760 by the Lowndes Family who had been major landowners in the area for centuries.

'Although sketchy, legend has it that it seems two men were fighting a duel over the daughter on the lawn in front of the hall.
Apparently she rushed out of the hall to try to stop the duel and she foolishly ran in front of one of them just as he was lunging forward with his rapier. It is difficult to determine who the young lady was that tragically lost her life, it has been speculated that it could be one of William Lowndes daughters. William Lowndes was the person who commissioned the building of Ramsdell Hall, he had two daughters, Mary and Elizabeth, who would have been about the right age for marrying around 1760 when the hall would have been completed.
A painting of Ramsdell Hall which I assume still hangs somewhere in the hall and which was painted sometime in the 1890s may show the face of the daughter who was so tragically killed.'
