The coal-mining Willoughby family had been landowners in the Wollaton area from the 13th century and built the present hall in the late 16th century. Wollaton Hall is a spectacular Tudor building, designed by Robert Smythson and completed in 1588. It is the home to the city's Natural History Museum.
Tom, a golf professional, green keeper and club maker at Notts Golf Club from 1896 until his death in 1950, claimed to have worked on all but one of the courses within a 50-mile radius of Nottingham. Construction work started in the winter of 1925 and took exactly eighteen months to complete. Tom Williamson was paid 150 guineas for supervising the project.
