So here we have the third and final visit of the 1st flexi day tour of Lincs.
This turned out to be my favorite of the three sites i visited on the Lincs tour.
Looking from the outside all i could see was a bare shell surrounded be some new fencing, i was thinking is it worth it. Once i found a way in i was very glad i did. There is so much to see.
History
Nocton Hall is a historic Grade II listed building in the village of Nocton, in Lincolnshire, England. The plaque on the north face of the Hall indicates that the original building dates back to about 1530 but since then there have been two notable reconstructions. Several prominent people have been residents of the house the most notable being Frederick John Robinson, 1st Earl of Ripon who was Prime Minister of the United Kingdom for a short time.
During the First World War the house was used as a convalescence home for wounded American Officers. In the Second World War the Americans again used the house as a military hospital after which it was taken over by the RAF and an extensive hospital developed in the grounds. It reverted to private use in the 1980s. In 2004 there was a major fire which left the building in a derelict state. Options are currently being considered regarding the future of the building.
On with the photos
Thanks for looking
