Stanton Hall is a country house in Stanton in Peak, Derbyshire. The house has had three principal building phases. The oldest part dates from the replacement of the mediæval manor house in 1693, and only one single gabled bay at the north of the house now remains of this period. In the 18th century, the 1693 house was largely replaced with a two-storey mansion with a seven-bayed east front. From 1799-1800, Bache Thornhill added a substantial south-facing extension, doubling the size of the house. The new two-storey, five-by-five-bay addition was designed in a Palladian style by architect Lindley of Doncaster. The entrance front to the south has the three central bays projecting, with a semi-circular Doric porch with balcony over, and all covered by a pediment. Bache Thornhill also created a deer park on the estate and ornamental gardens. In the 1950s the house passed to the Davie-Thornhill family. It is within the council area of Derbyshire Dales (Derbyshire).
