Hickleton Hall
There are records of Hickleton's history dating back to Saxon times although some consider the settlement to have Roman roots.[3]
More recently, it was the "estate village" of Hickleton Hall, formerly the home of the Earls of Halifax and then a Sue Ryder Care Home until 2013.
The parish church, St. Wilfrid's, is mainly of mediaeval construction with Norman features that was restored in Victorian times by George Frederick Bodley.
