Lower Hatton[1] is a hamlet in the Borough of Stafford in Staffordshire, England.

History

Lower Hatton was mentioned in the Domesday Book as "Lower and Upper Hatton" in the Pirehill Hundred of Staffordshire.[2]

Lower Hatton is home to the impressive Grade II* listed, former Hatton Water Pumping Station and its neighbouring chimney.[3] The building is now in use as mixed residential apartments. The grade listing was given in April 1980 and amended in October 1994 by Historic England.[4]
