Stydd Hall is a country house near Yeaveley, Derbyshire. The site was originally founded as a moated preceptory (a type of monastic base) for the Knights Hospitaller around 1190. After the Dissolution of the Monasteries in 1540, the site passed into private ownership. The current building is a 17th-century brick tower house, mainly Elizabethan or Jacobean in date, built on the mediæval foundations of the original domestic ranges. It incorporates a substantial quantity of the original mediæval stone masonry in its south wall. It underwent significant alterations around 1840 and further repairs in the 20th and 21st centuries. The site also features the significant, roof-height remains of the 13th-century Chapel of St Mary and St John the Baptist. It is now used as a farmhouse but the surrounding moated platform, chapel remains, and fishpond are a nationally important Scheduled Monument. Stydd had formerly been an independent township but has all but disappeared: the hall and a farm are all that remains. It is within the council area of Derbyshire Dales (Derbyshire).
