After a bit of hunting around, i found the grid ref for Nettleham hall, and got my answer as to why i couldn't find it on GoogleEarth! It's set in the middle of a small wood and can't really be seen from the air.
The buildings are in a pretty poor state, and have been mostly taken over by vines and trees, which gives the place a slightly 'Indiana Jones/Tomb Raider' look!
The only history i could find was the same as in other posts on the subject:
Nettleham Hall was a stone mansion on a slight hill. The Hall was destroyed by fire in 1937. The iron gates to the property were once the entrance to the churchyard at St. Peter-at-Arches, Lincoln.
Took the trip with a couple of mates, one of which has now signed up on DP as BileMonkey! The hall is a truely awesome place and I'll certainly return on a less windy day to get some better pics methinks...
The famous gates
The inner wall and round window
Some Details:
More internal shots, the forrest has realy started to take over
Entrance to the cellars?
You can still see some of the old 1st floor fireplaces
Also visited the cottage in the grounds, but that's for another day!
