Description:Ruins of Throwley Old Hall which stand on a hillside between the Hamps and Manifold valleys. It built in the early 16th century and largely rebuilt in 1603 by Sampson Meverell. The Meverell family had lived at Throwley since the early 13th century. The house was destroyed during the Civil War. After being rebuilt it belonged to the Southwell and Crompton families. It was apparantly gutted by fire in the mid 19th century and left to decay.

Standing on the left is Mr F.A. Holmes J.P., prime mover in the preservation of Dovedale.
