Lost Houses of Derbyshire – Knowle Hill, Ticknall, Derbyshire

February 5, 2019 VickyP

Knowle Hill, which lies atop a sequestered valley west of Ticknall and just south of Ingleby, is really two lost houses, albeit that we have no idea of the appearance of the first, and only a limited idea of the appearance of the second. What is there today, are the sensitively restored remains of a […]
