Cantley Hall, Grade II* listed Georgian mansion in Old Cantley, England

The two-story mansion stands within 400 acres of land, constructed with stuccoed brick and topped by a graduated Westmorland slate roof.

The estate, established in the 7th or 8th century by a Saxon named Tochi, underwent changes from Kanteleia in 1209 to its current name by the 15th century.

Leonard Childers of Cantley Lodge bred the notable racehorse Flying Childers in 1714, which later moved to Chatsworth House after sale to the Duke of Devonshire.

The mansion underwent substantial remodeling between 1785 and 1786 when Childers Walbank Childers transformed the original Cantley Lodge into a country residence.

The estate changed ownership from nobility to industry when Grassmoor Collieries purchased it in 1901, followed by the Earl Fitzwilliam in 1904.
