Great Oxendon Hall
A Memory of Great Oxendon.
I lived in a flat at Great Oxendon Hall for 4 years 1997 to 2001.My flat was above the main entrance and had a balcony that led from the bathroom and overlooked the driveway and lawns. The flat comprised of a bathroom, kitchen and large room with bay windows looking toward the George pub on the main Mkt. Harborough Rd. The view from the kitchen and bathroom was uninterrupted to Kelmarsh in the distance. The views were spectacular in every season especially after a heavy snowfall. The only drawback was that there was no gas supply in the village so heating was reliant on a coal fire or electric which were both inadequate as the ceilings were very high and the windows single glazed. I met a lady in the village who told me her mother was a maid at the Hall when it belonged to the Cunard (shipping) family. Very happy memories there.
