    Tips

    July 8, 2024

    This manor was mentioned in the Domesday book as belonging to Henry de Ferrers; it included a mill and was worth sixteen shillings.

    The village grew during the Middle Ages. Middleton Castle, a fortified manor house, was built in the early seventeenth century, and saw some fighting during the English Civil War. Christopher Fulwood attempted to raise a Royalist force from his base in the Castle, but on 16 November 1643, Roundhead troops raided the house and killed him. The Castle now lies in ruins.

    The settlement's present appearance dates from the early nineteenth century. Thomas Bateman rebuilt most of the village in the 1820s, incorporating the mullioned windows of earlier buildings to retain something of its traditional appearance. Bateman rebuilt Middleton Hall as his own residence, and the small parish church dates from some fifty years later.
