Homes in Elvaston and Thulston

For centuries almost the whole parish belonged to one estate, held by the Stanhope family, later Earls of Harrington, from 1607. The councils bought the castle and grounds in 1969 and opened the country park. Listed estate buildings include an 1840s lodge cottage and Kiosk Cottage on Thulston Lane, an early 18th-century pair now one house. The modern Boulton Moor estate also falls partly in the parish. Estate cottages were modernised in stages, so wiring often comes from several decades. Where homes rely on electric heating, the supply and board need checking for the load.
