This lane is now the only access to what is now called Mitton Manor. Now privately owned, the Manor house at the end of the lane has its ownership recorded continuously back to 821 AD; and has its mention in Pevsner's ‘Buildings of England’; Other properties of interest on the lane are 'The Dairy', just next to the Manor, the old coach house, with the elm archway and the Cider Mill. All of which were added to the Mitton Estate over time.
The Manor house is noted for its role as a VA Hospital in WWI and a base for American soldiers in WWII. The following is a quote from the current owners who have extensively renovated it:
"One day my parents arrived and found an elderly man, visibly upset, standing outside the gate. When they went to help him, he said he had come back to see where he had been nursed after being wounded in the First World War and was grieved to find it derelict. We never forgot his next words: "They took us from the blood and the filth of the trenches and sent us to Mitton and it was like going to Heaven".
