Iv know of this place for ages but a few visits last year convinced me there was no access as its pretty secure & thought there was nothing worth seeing inside!
Well as is often the case how wrong I was, I found the most awkward access & spent a fair while over 2 visits in here & was amazed what was left.
To say its cluttered is an understatement, most rooms are 2ft deep in stuff!
Photography was a nightmare, with extremely dark conditions & nowhere but piles of fabric to set a tripod I struggled but hopefully have done it justice
So what do we know about John?
He was a clever chap! a professor & trained in law, but suffered some mental issues I think its fair to say!
He lived here with his mum well into his 50s, & when she died became somewhat of a recluse living here on his own in squalid conditions. I know for a fact that the kitchen & dining room floors had collapsed while he was living here & I honestly believe the house has not altered much since his residence.
I am led to believe he moved in with his daughter for the last few years of his life & died in 2016, Im guessing the house has been empty a few years prior.
Its a bold statement but I don't think any explorers have been in here!
This is the only external, its actually a nice looking place with a good outlook although its difficult to tell from this pic!
