Hartington Hall

[1] Richard Bateman married Ellen Toplis of Tissington and it was their eldest son, Hugh, who built the new manor house at Hartington in 1611.

[2][3] In 1862 Thomas Osborne Bateman[4] oversaw the substantial alteration and extension.

[5] The house is built to an H plan: the main entrance front has three storeys and three gabled bays, the central bay recessed with an off-centre porch entrance.

[5] Though it retains dormitory accommodation, it has many small rooms with ensuite facilities.

[8] It has been claimed that Bonnie Prince Charlie stayed at the Hall during the Jacobite rising of 1745.
