So having a few spare hours on hand i remembered about this place, i thought i could just about squeeze it in before the light fades. Walking through the woods i come across a enclosure where they breed the game birds, they were everywhere, trying my hardest not to spook them and draw any attention i just about tiptoed around them. I then spotted the Hall through the trees and what an impressive place it must have been.
History
Built in the 1820s or 1830s in red brick for Philip Bennet to replace an earlier house on a different site. Extensions were added in the late 19th century. In 1905 the estate was acquired by Sir George Agnew and has remained in the family's ownership since that date.

At the beginning of WW2 the house was taken over by the military but hit by a bomb in September 1940 during a series Luftwaffe raids on the area where an ammunition dump was being established. The house has remained derelict. In 1975 the west tower was demolished but the stable block remains.
