From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Elton on the Hill is a small Nottinghamshire village and civil parish in the Vale of Belvoir. The population of about 75 is included in that of the civil parish of Granby.

Elton (“Ayletone”) in the 1086 Domesday Book had 14 households (11 villeins and 3 free) and a church. The lord in 1066 had been Earl Morcar, whose lands lay mainly in Lincolnshire and Yorkshire. The lord at the time of Domesday was Ralph of Neufmarché and the tenant-in-chief Roger of Bully, who is mentioned in connection with 381 other places, as lord or tenant-in-chief, mainly in Nottinghamshire and Yorkshire.

There used to be a large, plain, early 19th-century parapeted manor house, with extensive grounds. This was demolished in 1933 by its last owner, W. Noël Parr, a Nottingham solicitor who lived in the Old Rectory until 1957.

All that remain are an 18th-century gateway into Sutton Lane, with a lodge (19th century, extended in the 1950s, once the sub-post office), the red brick walls of kitchen gardens with a fort-like Grade II listed gazebo, thought to date from the late 18th or early 19th century, and a grey brick brew house, now a residence and enlarged.
