1. The History
See previous report HERE for the history of this place.

2. The Explore
One of my fave little places and one I’ve been to a few times. Since I came last time the place has gone down hill a bit. There appears to have been a bit of an attempt to tidy up the place slightly. Equally though the sink in one room and the toilet in another room have been removed and smashed up respectively. It also appears that someone has (unsuccessfully) tried to half-inch the lead off the spire. If restored this could have been a fabulous house but sadly this place’s days are numbered, which is a real shame as it has a magical quality to it. Tried to cast some fresh eyes over this place to take all the pictures on my phone rather than my SLR. Explored with BikinGlynn (good to meet ya mate!)

3. The Pictures

Love this rather unusual statue:

Small Toilet:

An old butler’s bell with chain still attached:

This would have been the coaching entrance to the hall. You can see 18 carved into the left-hand stonework. The other side has 80 giving the probably date of construction (1880).

View from the inner court-yard:

Note the lead on the spire roof has been wrenched somewhat:

The roof to this section is in the best condition:

The overgrown opposite side:

…with far less roof left!

Deffo worth it....on a really sunny day with blue skies!
Alas its going downhill, dereliction and the vandals don't help much.

Sadly don't think this one will get saved.
