The first of two visits to this location just 6 months apart - was amazed to see how much it had deteriorated in that short space of time, with most of the remaining items now stolen.
1) Built in 1879

2) The living room was definitely the highlight.

3) With this beautiful ceiling...

4) and artefacts dating back to when the manor was built, like this cheque from the 1880's.

5) The weak upper floors promised more to see...

6) But being held up by plywood, I didn't fancy it myself.
