Nocton Hall - an abandoned mansion

What happened to England's abandoned mansions?

'Evocative of an aristocratic and glorious history, there are many mansions around England that now stand empty or abandoned.'

Nocton Hall

Local resident Jilly Burr, saw the article above and forwarded the link to me saying: "Found this in the news and thought about the Hall".

I have published much information about the history of Nocton Hall in my blog over the years.  The most comprehensive record however, is contained in the excellent publication: 'Nocton Hall - Revelations of an Imp' by Douglas Craven-Hodgson.  You may want to click on the link as it is a fascinating read.

Please note there are many other entries about Nocton Hall - but you will need to scroll through the Index to locate these separately.

Delays to repair of Nocton Hall are ‘intolerable’

'Promising signs of progress to save the derelict Nocton Hall, devastated by fire 10 years ago, appear to be fading.'

Nocton Hall - Resolution of Parish Council

'This Council wishes to place on record its complete and utter frustration at the continued failure of LEDA Properties to engage meaningfully with councillors and the local community over its plans for the future development of Nocton Hall and the associated former RAF hospital site.'

Where do we go from here?

'North Kesteven District Council have had this property under review for many years, yet seem to be at a total loss of what to do next.'
