Summary
This is the site of Stanninghall village which was deserted in the medieval period. The ruined tower of the possibly 13th century church (NHER 44213) can still be seen but there is no sign of the rest of the village. A mansion was built here in the 16th century. Some masonry from this building may have been reused in the 19th century farmhouse (NHER 44212) still on the site. There is a large and magnificent barn of around 1680 (NHER 44213). One concrete building is said to be all that remains of a 20th century tuberculosis hospital (NHER 44215).
