Stancliffe Hall

Stancliffe Hall

Stancliffe Hall is a grade II Listed building on Whitworth Road in the settlement of Darley Dale, near Matlock, Derbyshire.

Stancliffe Hall was built by the engineer Joseph Whitworth in the late 1800s. It is reputed that Joseph Whitworth's wife died in an accident in a lift in the house.

Early in the 1900s, the site became a private school with many members coming to the school from Llandaff in Wales.

Stancliffe Hall School closed in 2001, and the site was used to film Stig of the Dump, released in 2002.
