Don’t think I’ve seen this on the forum yet!

Stumbled across this gem of a place, and quickly returned with my camera, before it gets locked up. Then went back again with a Rookie new member. His first explore, and he definitely enjoyed it.
Built in the 1800s, and judging by the calendar, this place has been derelict since 2012. I walked through the door, and was shocked - This place was loaded of with stuff, and was a 5 bedroom mansion, with 3 bathrooms, and 3 staircases. The property has a number of outhouses, and barns in various states of decay. Don’t know what happened to the occupier, or why so many personal belongings have been left, but there were endless rooms full of stuff. The wellies, with a clothes peg was a favourite of mine, as was the ‘National Young Farmer 1985 annual’.

There is another property attached, which was not accessible.

There were a number of Jesus pictures, and religious quotes framed on the wall, and letters of thanks from a church thanking him for the use of his tractor. Clearly a keen church goer, hence the report title name. Keen to keep the location of this one out of the public forum for the minute… A few places I have visited in years gone by, I have recently heard have been torched.

Obviously a keen smoker - hoards of packs of park drive cigarettes

thanks for looking
 
Wow mate what a find.really love this one.best to keep it quiet.it's a good one
 
Nice find mate, it seems quite similar to packington in a few ways. Any idea what the "Do not Touch" markers/signs are about? I counted 8 in the pics :neutral:

Thanks mate
I get out when I can :)

Don't know about the Do not touch signs -
Found a few on another explore I did - The tragic thatched cottages.
Not seen them before myself. DS offered a suggestion about what they could be about

Unless both this place and the Cottages have been subjected to an Official photographic survey; there might be another explanation, rather than my first observations. There is evidently - according to a mate who has partaken in the 'event', some form of photographic treasure hunt carried out by teams. The datum lines from the squares gives one the search lines and one then solves a clue to observe the item in question. I can see the method in the madness, but all seems a bit over the top to me - each to their own! However; the 'Do not remove' on the signs does seem to point to something more than say, an official photo session. Once photographed, it does not matter if the signs are removed; but some weird treasure hunt game is another matter all together.
