Was passing the turn-off to Nettleham and the hall being only a couple of miles away, it seemed rude not to revisit this fantastic place. There’s not a great deal of history about this place but what I could find out about the hall can be found here when I did my first visit in October 2014.
Not a lot has changed apart from I got the head’s up from Judderman’s recent visit that there was a Heras fence round the place. On arrival there was indeed a fence round the ruin but we all know how effective they are! So in I popped the try and capture the essence of this place. Like a fool I didn’t have my tripod with me so had to manage with high ASAs. This place is really hard to capture with the low light and foliage engulfing the ruins. Hopefully I made a decent fist of it.

This looks like a collapsed chimney:

It would have been a grand place in its time:
