Hale House was built by Thomas Archer, Groom Porter to Queen Anne, and Baroque architect, who bought the manor of Hale sometime after 1712. He demolished an Elizbethan mansion which had been designed by John Webb for the Penruddock family. The house was designed and built by Archer around 1715.[3] It was remodelled around 1792 by the architect Henry Holland.[3] Other alterations were made in the early and late 19th century, by the Goff family, who owned Hale Park from 1837 until the early 20th century.
The house has two storeys and seven bay-windows at the front. It has cement rendered walls, a portico with pediment and Corinthian columns, and a slate roof. The service wings flank the house but are detached. They also are of two storeys, with cement rendered walls and slate roofs.
It is now a Grade I listed building. The house is in private ownership and is not open to the public.
A temple built around 1650 (reconstructed 50 years ago) as a royal mausoleum which did contain the bones of 23 chiefs. The temple is within Pu'uhonua O Honaunau, a place for refuge for those who broke sacred laws of conduct and regulations. Here they could be absolved and were free to leave.
