Okeover Hall is a privately owned mansion which has been the seat of the Okeover family since 1087. The oldest part of the current house dates to 1745 but the nearby parish church is from the 14th century. Many rebuilds, extensions and demolitions have occurred here but the architects have been sympathetic and it's a still a good example of the period.
Not open to the public but the gardens are occasionally open for visits.

It is the family seat of the Okeover family, who have been in residence since the reign of William Rufus. The house lies close to the border between Staffordshire and Derbyshire, which lies on the far side of the small River Dove. The Hall is not open to the public.

The house and manor church were pillaged by the Jacobite forces as they marched south to Swarkstone Bridge in 1745.
