Earlier Houses: There was probably at least one earlier house on, or near, the site of the 18th century house.

House & Family History: In 1922, after the death of Alfred Edward Miller-Mundy, his son, Godfrey Miller-Mundy, sold the house and estate to the Shipley Colliery Company, who allowed Shipley Hall to fall into disrepair and who mined coal directly beneath the house. After decades of neglect, the colliery company demolished Shipley Hall in 1948. Alfred Edward Miller-Mundy, who hosted King Edward VII at a house party at Shipley in the early 20th century, was scandalized when his first wife, Ellen Mary (née Palmer-Morewood), ran off with the 19-year-old 20th Earl of Shrewsbury in 1879; Alfred sued her for divorce in 1881 and she married Lord Shrewsbury in 1882.

Collections: The majority of the contents of Shipley Hall were sold in the early 1920s.

Garden & Outbuildings: After the demolition of the house the iron gates were removed to Heanor Memorial Park, while door and other architectural fragments were installed in a house in Mansfield Woodhouse. In the 1970s the site of the house and part of the park were acquired by Derbyshire County Council and turned into a country park open to the public. In April 1991 the Grade II*-listed model farm and water tower were listed for sale. The 1899 cricket ground is the home today of Shipley Hall Cricket Club.
