History

At Domesday, it was referred to as Duntune, and it belonged to the ancient family of Dutton, who were the county's minstrels and pipers. The Duttons erected Dutton Hall in 1513, and the building, which was said to "exhibit fine features of the architecture of its period," was dismantled in the 1930s and relocated to Ashurst Wood, West Sussex, where it was rebuilt into Stoke Brunswick School.
