Hartington Hall is a much altered and extended 17th-century manor house at Hartington, Derbyshire, now a youth hostel.
The Hall was built by the Bateman family. They were a well-established Norfolk family who settled at Hartington in the 16th century.[1] Richard Bateman married Ellen Toplis of Tissington and it was their eldest son, Hugh, who built the new manor house at Hartington in 1611.[2][3] In 1862 Thomas Osborne Bateman[4] oversaw the substantial alteration and extension.[2] The work was carried out by Henry Isaac Stevens of Derby.[5]
The house is built to an H plan: the main entrance front has three storeys and three gabled bays, the central bay recessed with an off-centre porch entrance. The dates of building and alterations are recorded on a lintel above the door.[2] It is now a Grade II listed building.[2]
The Batemans remained at Hartington until the 20th century. In 1934 the property was opened as a youth hostel[6] by the Youth Hostels Association (YHA) and became the property of YHA in 1948.[5] Though it retains dormitory accommodation, it has many small rooms with ensuite facilities. There is a restaurant on site, open to the public as well as guests. [7] A popular wedding venue, it also has a bridal suite.[8] It has been claimed that Bonnie Prince Charlie stayed at the Hall during the Jacobite rising of 1745.[9]
