Hermeston Hall

Hermeston Hall is a manor house near to the villages of Oldcotes and Langold, and within the parish or Hodsock, northwestern Nottinghamshire, England. It is located in a lane just off the A60 road, just south of the village of Oldcotes on the road to Langold.

Hermeston Hall is situated on a site where a previous manor stood, built around 1100 AD for the Cress family who lived there until 1408. Bess of Hardwick was known to have been connected to the property in the 16th century. Foundations of the earlier house have been found under the floor. The site, however is believed to date back much further, given a Roman road runs through the land and a Roman villa was once situated in the vicinity of the house. After the English Civil War the property fell into decline and from 1765 the area fell under the ownership of the Mellish family who owned some 20,000 acres of local land.
