The total site area extends to 0.38 acres or thereabouts.

History Of Hartington - It is noted that the history of the Parish of Hartington is well established. Following the Conquest, it is likely that the current village is a planned settlement developed by Henry de Ferrars in the 11th and 12th century as an administrative centre for his estates in Derbyshire and also controlling the crossing of the River Dove into Staffordshire. In the 17th century much of the area was purchased by the Duke of Devonshire. The village has always been prosperous with a market Charter being granted as early as 1203 and remained the principal settlement for the area. Agriculture remained the principal occupation, but from the middle of the 19th century with stagecoaches passing through the village tourism also developed, which continues to this day.
