Gresley Old Hall

Gresley Old Hall, near Swadlincote in South Derbyshire, is a Grade II listed building designated in 1981. It carries a datestone of 1664 above its door, though the fabric may incorporate earlier 16th-century work associated with Sir Christopher Alleyne, who acquired the site of the former Church Gresley Priory in 1556. The hall was let as a tenant farm from 1775 and later divided into tenements by 1895, before falling derelict. It was subsequently renovated for use as a Miners' Welfare, with the restoration completed by 1959, and the building still stands within a remnant of its former parkland setting.
