The dominant historic character of this polygon (which follows the boundary of the Dinnington Conservation Area) dates to the 18th century with a number of 18th century buildings and farmsteads in local Magnesian limestone with red tiled roofs present. The east side of Laughton Road retains a typical 'burgage plot' type layout although the rear of these plots still associated with the placename element 'crofts' have largely been redeveloped in the twentieth century. The development along the south side of Barley Croft provides a good example of a Conzenian 'Burgage Cycle' (Whitehand 2001, 105) whereby the space to the rear of a medieval Burgage plot has been infilled by post-medieval buildings. Later buildings include those on the plots to the south of Church Lane, which date to the mid and late 20th century, the Church of St Nicholas (19th century replacement of medieval predecessor). Elite buildings of Dinnington Hall and Stables date to later 18th century. Partial legibility of medieval planned village elements and earlier buildings.
