Dorton House, Buckinghamshire, Grade I listed country house in Aylesbury Vale, England.
Dorton House displays a horseshoe-shaped structure with Jacobean architectural elements, constructed with bricks made from local clay fired at Brill Hill.
The construction of Dorton House occurred between 1596 and 1626, with Sir John Dormer as its initial owner before passing to the Fletcher family in 1783.
The Royal London Society for the Blind operated a school at Dorton House from 1939 to 1955, marking its transition into an educational establishment.
Current visitors can observe the exterior architecture and grounds of Dorton House, which now functions as Ashfold School for children aged 3 to 13.
The building features a datestone from 1626 on an external soffit, though historians Elizabeth Williamson and Nikolaus Pevsner suggest a construction date of 1675.
