Did this site ages ago with my partner in crime, Headflux.
This was our very first explore so I consider it to be quite a special place. If none of you have been it's a small, cute yet beautiful site and probably is what most derelict sites will eventually turn out like. Nature has well and truly taken over, huge trees dominate what used to be a family home and ivy crawl up the walls where once pictures were hung.
The hall was owned by the Agnew family. I don’t know much else, other than the army took it over during WW2 when they built an air base a short distance away which sealed the fate of the Hall. It was the victim of a stray German bomb intended for the base.
The apparently 2000lb bomb exploded (landed?) in the courtyard – this destroyed the foundations of the building. Chimneys fell through the rooves. Walls fell down. And the place was in ruins.
Apologies I know these are quite edited....
