Stanton Hall, Country house in Stanton in Peak, England
Stanton Hall is a two-storey stone country house in the village of Stanton, Derbyshire, England, with a symmetrical seven-bay east front and a semicircular Doric porch. The tall sash windows with multiple panes are arranged across the facade in a restrained classical style.
The house was built in 1693 on the site of a medieval manor that had belonged to the Bache family for generations. It was expanded and reshaped more than once during the 1700s and early 1800s.
The house displays a formal Georgian facade that feels out of place among the stone farmhouses typical of the Peak District. The Doric porch and tall sash windows signal the social standing its owners wanted to project.
The house is privately owned and not open to the public, but the exterior can be seen from nearby public footpaths. Visitors should stay on the marked paths and avoid entering the private grounds.
The Davie-Thornhill family laid out a deer park and ornamental gardens in the early 1800s, which changed how the estate sat within the surrounding land. Those features still shape the way the grounds look today when seen from the footpaths.
