Duffield Hall

Duffield Hall is a three-story manor house with five gabled bays, built in the 1620s as a residential property. The building displays characteristic features of 17th-century English architecture and remains a notable example of period craftsmanship in the Derbyshire area.

The manor was built in the 1620s for the Newton family following a royal grant from King Charles I. The building later served as a school from 1908 to 1970 before undergoing significant restoration work in the 1970s.

The property transformed from a private residence to St Ronan's School between 1908 and 1970, educating 120 students at its peak.

The property is best accessed on foot and sits near the center of Duffield village. Keep in mind that this is now a private residence, so exterior viewing from the street is your main option for a visit.

The building transformed through several uses, serving first as a private manor, then as a boarding school that operated for over 60 years, and later as corporate offices. This complex history shaped the decision to convert it back into a single residence.
