Denaby Old Hall

In the civil parish of Denaby.
In the historic county of Yorkshire West Riding (Modern Authority of Doncaster, 1974 county of South Yorkshire).

Remains of a C15 manor house, now two dwellings. Originally three ranges set around a courtyard, now only the western half of the north range and the northern wall of the west range survive. A garderobe turret projects from the north wall of the remaining range. Investigation of the standing building suggests that the south wall of the north range, which faces the courtyard, was originally stone-built below and timber framed above. A cottage was built against the north wall of the west range, probably in the late C17, and the whole building was extensively altered during C20.
