Park Head Hall (originally Derwent Villa) was called by Fordyce "a pleasantly situated mansion, in the Elizabethan style of architecture". It was built in 1836, and was the seat of George Heppel Ramsay (1790-1879), industrialist. His mother was descended from German steelmakers who came to the Derwent in C17. Ramsay was succeeded by his son John T. Ramsay and grandson G.R. Ramsay.
