The westernmost part of this school was originally the eastern end of a country house built for George Cooke, who purchased the lands of Streetthorpe in 1769 (Hunter 1828, 207). A settlement of Stirestorp is recorded in Domesday as including 2 carucate of ploughable land, woodland pasture, 2 freeman and one smallholder within the lands of Conisborough. This settlement was probably ranged to the south of this site around the earlier manor house (see listed building 'Edenthorpe Manor House' national ref 334762). By the time of Jefferys' plan, drawn before the building of Streetthorpe Hall and the enclosure of common land to the east house, the settlement appears to have been little more than the isolated manor house. The name 'Streethorpe' became 'Edenthorpe' in 1875 following the transfer of the estate to Edith and Sir William Eden (http://www.edenthorpe.com/history.htm - accessed 10 Aug 2006). On Easter Monday 1922 the central block was severely fire damaged resulting in its eventual demolition. The remaining block became a junior school in 1957 with newer buildings added to the east since (ibid.). The area of the demolished hall now lies to the north west of the school and as not been built over. No legibility of earlier landscape character- probably open fields.
