Fitton Hall - Derelict - Cambridgeshire - April 2014

Morning!

Surprised this is not on here already... place full of character!

Neither Mr B or I were brave enough to go past the rotten stair!! Would have LOVED to see what lay up there!

Fitton Hall was originally called 'The Manor of Fitton' and was held by Alan de Fitton, the Bishop of Ely.

The surrounding land was at first very marshy, but by the year 1221, 120 acres of the estate had been
reclaimed.Over 100 years later, Agnes, the daughter of Sir Lawrence de Flete married Sir Bartholomew Everard and the manor descended into this family, and remained with them for several generations.When the Buckworths took over, the house was rebuilt. By 1728, the manor consisted of 87.5 acres, 5 of which were woodland, 11.5 were arable and the remainder was pasture. In 1824 the property was sold to a silver plater from Sheffield for £2,990. This farmhouse has now replaced the old manor building.

I liked it here even though it was pouring with rain and very grey!

Panoramic shots are poor as they are from my mobile
