The house was built by William Lindley of Doncaster for John Wilkinson in 1786 in the remarkably short period of 101 days. Wilkinson adopted the name Denison after the uncle who bequeathed him the cost of it. It was occupied by several wealthy gentleman over the next 150 years including William Gott, but became a maternity home during and after World War II, and later a nursing home. Its current use is not clear. The building is grade II* listed (list entry 1256073).
