Butterley Hall

The two-storey, attic gabled eight-bayed house was built in the late 18th century for the Home family but was sold in 1790 to Francis Beresford for occupation by Benjamin Outram, founder of the Butterley Company.

The Hall was the 1803 birthplace of General Sir James Outram of the Indian Army.

His grandson, also William Jessop of Butterley Hall, was High Sheriff of Derbyshire in 1878.

Leslie was Chairman and Managing Director of the Butterley Company and held the office of High Sheriff of Derbyshire in 1919.

[1] The house later became the head office of the Butterley Company before it was acquired by Derbyshire Police.
