Cryer House is a 17th-century grade II listed country hall on Castle Street in Castleton, Derbyshire.[2]

History

[edit]

A smaller dwelling named Billson House stood on the site of Cryer House. Cryer House was named after Rev. Samuel Cryer, a local vicar during Cromwell's Protectorate.[3] In 1702, the house was purchased by the Ashton family.[4] Robert How Ashton lived at the house during the 19th Century, and his son of the same name inherited the house. It became part of the Losehill Estate following Ashton's relocation to the newly built Losehill Hall.[5] The house left the estate following a sale in 1925, and in later years, it has been operated as a B&B.[6][page needed]
