You have probably spotted this one aat the side of the M1 motorway just north of J29. No challenge whatsoever gaining access just open the gate and walk in. No security no razor wire not even a no tresspassing sign. Actually the site is owned by English Heritage and admission is free. so you can explore at your leisure there is even a car park!
The hall was built in 1724 the archetect was Francis Smith of Warwick. The hall fell into decay in the 1920's. The hall was stripped and its roof was removed( i believe so they didn't have to pay tax on it ). I believe that the ornate plasterwork interiors were taken away and stored somewhere in London.
Well worth a visit if your in the area.
