Barton Blount history


Barton Hall was the seat of Sir Walter Blount, a key supporter of John of Gaunt, who bought it from Nicholas Bakepus in the 1380s. During the civil war in October 1644, in the reign of Charles I, the manor house was garrisoned for Parliamentary forces, and a skirmish took place in the neighbourhood between these forces and Royalist troops from Tutbury Castle.

Chapel of St Chad

The former parish church and Barton Hall were the centre of the medieval village. It was damaged during the civil war, and by the early 18th century was in a dilapidated condition. The church was declared redundant in 1976, and has since been a private chapel.

Remains of medieval settlement

To the north, west and south of Barton Hall are the remains of the medieval settlement, now a scheduled monument. Earthworks to the north-east of the church show the location of building platforms and adjacent plots of land, on either side of a sunken track, once the main street of the village.
