Stirk House was built using stonework from the former Sawley Abbey, dismantled a century earlier during Henry VIII’s dissolution of the monasteries.
The house, known as Grange Moor Manor at the time, is bought by London financier Alec Ormerod, as a country base for social gatherings and wild parties in the country.
After being empty for 25 years, the property was sold to Harry Speak for £500, who began work converting it into a hotel boasting 11 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
A devastating fire destroyed most of the main wing but local villagers pull together to tackle the blaze and save the building.
With a £100,000 refurbishment, Stirk House gained a reputation as an exclusive spot, with waiters sporting tails and white gloves and the hotel becoming a popular venue for wedding receptions.
Stirk House became registered to perform wedding ceremonies and the first couple, locals Carole Lord and Tony Flanagan, are married at the venue.
