Throwley Old Hall is a grade II listed ruined stately home. There is evidence of an important house here since the 12th century but the current ruin dates to the early 16th century. It was lived in until 1877 when the Parramore family moved to Australia.
Today it's still privately owned and you can't really explore the ruin. You can see it from the path though and it's an interesting walk past.

Throwley Old Hall is a ruined stately home near the village of Calton and adjacent to the River Manifold, in north-east Staffordshire, England.

S C Hall, writing in the mid-19th century, described the house when it was intact: "It is built of the limestone of the neighbourhood, quoined with larger gritstones; and its walls bear a very time-worn appearance. On the Eastern side, its gables, large bayed window of many lights, divided by stone mullions, terminating in depressed arches, and its strong square tower, carry us back to the Sixteenth Century the period of its erection." By 1921 the building's condition was similar to its present state.
