Dingley Hall is a former Elizabethan mansion house in Dingley, Northamptonshire. A house has stood on this site from mediæval times. At the Dissolution of the monasteries it was sold to Edward Griffin. During the late 1550s Griffin had the house extensively rebuilt leaving only the older tower, and adding a renaissance style porch. Further additions were made in the 1680s. In 1781-2 the west wing was demolished, but it remained a large rambling house. The house has been owned by a number of prominent aristocrats, royal advisors, attorney generals and admirals, boasting entertainment of royalty and senior political figures, and remaining as a private family home until 1936. During World War II it was used as a nursing home. Although the estate was sold in 1958, the house was left to deteriorate until it was gutted in 1972. In 1978, it was bought by the architect Kit Martin who divided it into seven houses and three flats. Nothing is left of the original interiors. It is within the council area of North Northamptonshire.
