I had good and bad memories of the hall. I don't remember Brendan. The house was demolished around 1965/6 and the ground it stood on was sold and a school was built. I remember helping the gardener take geranium cuttings in the conservatory and the orchard, spinney, and lwns and the rose garden. Inside, the hall was impressive: oak pannelled throughout with a grand staircase. I remember suits of armour and deers' heads monted on the walls. So happy to have found this site as I lost the original picture of the hall I had. Does anyone remember me? I was there quite a while.

Hi Tony, I rememember you, my name is Michael Gardner. I was there for about three years. Like you, I remember some good times and some bad times. The best time was the Monkey Tree where we played Tig. It would be nice to get in touch after all this time.
