After a bit of hunting around, i found the grid ref for Nettleham hall, and got my answer as to why i couldn't find it on GoogleEarth! It's set in the middle of a small wood and can't really be seen from the air.
The buildings are in a pretty poor state, and have been mostly taken over by vines and trees, which gives the place a slightly 'Indiana Jones/Tomb Raider' look!

The only history i could find was the same as in other posts on the subject:
Nettleham Hall was a stone mansion on a slight hill. The Hall was destroyed by fire in 1937. The iron gates to the property were once the entrance to the churchyard at St. Peter-at-Arches, Lincoln.

Took the trip with a couple of mates, one of which has now signed up on DP as BileMonkey! The hall is a truely awesome place and I'll certainly return on a less windy day to get some better pics methinks...

what an impressive ruin. They certainly knew how to build things to last in them days,first a fire, then left to the elements and even mother nature trying to destroy it totally, but the walls still stand . Great place and Photo's thanks for sharing guys
 
Nice pics, I love pics 3 and 13 the best. What a great place! The place looks so beautiful almost magical. :mrgreen:
