Latin House was built by Elizabeth Grey in 1706 as a school. One of its most famous pupils was Robert Lowe, 1st Viscount Sherbrooke, later Chancellor of the Exchequer.the school was remodelled in 1868 as a preparatory school of the first grade for boys intended for Eton, Winchester and the public schools. The building survived as a school until 1914 when it became a private house. By 1966 the property was empty and was badly vandalised in that year. In 1970 a restoration project estimated at £10,000 (equivalent to £195,400 in 2023) was begun.

Great Coffee

Its isolated location next to St. Chad's Water lends the whole area a tranquil atmosphere. The long-vanished village of Wilne was subject to flooding by the nearby river Derwent. Consequently, the people relocated to nearby Draycott, on higher ground, leaving St. Chad's Church with only a couple of houses nearby.

The present day church consists of a medieval chancel with north vestry (now housing an organ) and south wall chancel door, clerestoried nave, north and south aisles, south porch, west tower and spire, and west-end vestries and galilee added in the 20th century. It is set within a conventional churchyard that is walled and gated on Church Lane (north side). A chapel is said to have existed on the banks of the River Trent at Attenborough n 964 AD and was overbuilt with the stone chancel of the present day church.
