Dalestorth House was built in 1750 by the Rector of Teversal, but the site had been occupied by the Cock Inn since C1600. C 1770, Rev Thomas Hurt enlarged the house, beginning to live at Dalesforth in 1778 (according to GG Bonser, in History of Sutton), and in the early C19 John Miller, a maltster and farmer became the owner. In 1832, it is listed as a Ladies Boarding Establishment, and later, An Establishment for young ladies. The school commenced in 1806 under Mrs Miller, wife of a hosiery worker in order to provide a supplementary income. In 1972, the building was listed by English Heritage
