The house was unoccupied until the Second World War, when it was used for training as the RAF Staff College.
Following the War, Frecheville Ramsden used part of the property for chemical research into sisal by-products. After Frecheville Ramsden's death in 1958, the park was sold to a farmer, and the mansion and woodland were bought by the Bruderhof community.
In 1966, the Bruderhof moved to the United States, and the property was bought by WEC International, a Christian evangelical mission agency, who gradually restored and improved the public parts of the house's interior. WEC International sold the mansion to a private owner in 2016 for £18 million.
we continued with our tour on the higher floors & did the clock tower but got to the West side of the building & heard a door below us open & footsteps coming in.
Ok we hid up for a few mins & got a vantage point across the courtyard & could see not one but 2 dogs systematically being let into rooms on the opposite side of the building oops.
Retreating further west we then set off an alarm & thinking there was no way of getting out without being seen or heard we had some divine intervention in the form of an almighty hail storm. With this as cover we legged it quick concluding our visit here.
Thanks For Looking
