Brief Description
Alfreton Hall is an 18th-century house with later alterations. The surrounding parklands and gardens date from the mid-18th century onwards. There are residual remains of 19th-century kitchen gardens. The house itself is now in use as a restaurant, conference and wedding venue.
History
There was a medieval hall and park, believed to date from 1257, on the site. The estate was acquired by the Morewood family in the 1620s. A new hall was built in the 18th century and much of the landscape dates from this time.
