Exton Hall

An earlier mansion, which burnt down in 1810, is now a ruin, with grand gables and beautiful chimneys, as in many Elizabethan houses.

[2][3] The ruins are on Historic England's Heritage at Risk Register, at priority category: C - "slow decay; no solution agreed".

In 1869 a Roman Catholic chapel, dedicated to St Thomas of Canterbury was added, to a design by Charles Alban Buckler.

In 1948, Anthony Noel, 5th Earl of Gainsborough, granted the United Steel Companies a lease to quarry ironstone in the Park.

[7] In the park is Fort Henry, a pleasure-house built in 1788 in the Gothick style, which overlooks lakes formed by the North Brook.
