The church and boathouse were on Midumner murders last night. Does not look like it has changed much and I thought they were going to build around there. I see the building ( the last two but one ) had collapsed at last. I did not realise you could get in like you have done. Do the classrooms still have their chairs and desks still in them? Here is a link to my blog when I went there ages ago Mongewell Park

Very happy to see this thread, I haven't been back in years and was wondering just last week whether or not this place was still standing, and despite the collapsed roof, it doesn't look like anything has really changed.

This was a permission visit I assume? The place was always well protected when I visited in the past.

Yes, permission (of sorts) has been granted, the grounds and buildings are used for around 20 weeks of the year for various filming/video shoots, there are still people living in various buildings on site, I will post more pictures of buildings if get get permission to enter, although some look too far gone to permit this currently

Nice one mate! Drop me a pm if you're heading back and fancy some company, would love to check out inside.

This is brilliant. I've had this place pinned for ages but heard it was darn near impossible to gain entry inside the buildings.

Yes, there are people living in the old accommodation blocks plus there's a caretaker and various weird businesses on site - boat repairs and a carpenter

I'm here all week as part of a production, not sure I'd get you through security unfortunately

Ah no worries then. Enjoy!

Just watch out for the Police Dog trainers, The police use the place from time to time as a training site

That’s ok, but thanks for thinking of me. I’m working all week so my explore days are usually Sunday.
