Coatflat Hall, which was situated a mile from Orton, was pulleddown in 1793, but I thought some of the interior walls of the presentfarmhouse and the barn were part of the original hall. Orton Hall, which is now called Petty Hall, is in the middle ofthe village, and very much as it was 300 years ago : what i
