One of the owners of the estate was Lord Carnarvon the Egyptologist, who sold the property to finace the famous expedition in search of the tomb of Tutankhamun, the boy king. The present Hall was purchased in 1926 by the Derbyshire County Council for use as a hospital and remained an orthopaedic hospital till the 1990's, the hall and grounds then being sold to developers to provide private residential units.

There used to be a footpath between Bretby Hall and Bretby Mill, indeed the last time we passed this way you could park your car along the drive and fish the pools. Now 30 years later it appears that neither fishermen nor walkers are walkers are welcome. (2007)
