Description
Denton Hall (or East Denton Hall) is the only remaining feature of the pre-modern settlement. A three-storey stone house, with west porch, and east staircase block. Notable for its fine mullioned windows. Over the porch is the date 1622, and the initials of Anthony and Dorothy Errington, the builders, Anthony having been granted the manor in 1601/2. The chapel was moved in 2020 from East Denton Hall, which had been the Bishop’s House since 1942 to West Avenue when the Bishop’s residence was moved. LISTED GRADE 1
