Derby House

Derby House, formerly known as Old Manor Court House, is a house or wing of a former house located on School Lane in Up Holland. It is dated 1633 at the first floor and has undergone alterations. The building is constructed of coursed sandstone rubble with quoins, a slate roof, and a brick chimney. It features a two-unit plan that is positioned at right angles to the street and has two storeys, a basement, and an attic. The facade has a gabled one-window design with a high chamfered plinth and a moulded dripband above the ground floor.

The basement has a blocked square-headed doorway with a chamfered reveal and a Tudor-arched lintel, with a small chamfered blocked opening to the left and an inserted doorway with a 20th-century door to the right. The ground floor includes an inserted vertical-rectangular window with 20th-century glazing in the remains of a blocked mullioned window, which likely resembled the first-floor window that has six lights, chamfered reveals, ovolo-moulded mullions, and a moulded hoodmould. At the attic level, there is a blocked two-light double chamfered mullioned window.

A stone plaque carved with the Stanley crest of an eagle-and-child and the date "1633" is located at the centre of the dripband. The right-hand return wall is mostly obscured by an adjoining building, but parts of blocked two-light mullioned windows are visible on both floors. The rear gable wall features a five-light mullioned window at the first floor, similar to the front, along with a stone plaque above it displaying the Legs-of-Man, the initials "ILS" in the top left corner, "1633" in the top right corner, and initials "RC" and "IC" in the lower corners. An attic window similar to the front is also present, and in the apex, there is a square stone with an egg-shaped recess.

Inside, there are four stop-chamfered lateral beams on each floor, a partition that is likely timber-framed, and a principal rafter roof truss with angle braces and wind-braces to the purlins. Historically, it is said that the building was used as a gaol.
