Yes yes I know I shouldnt be out exploring but as as seasoned explorer & NEBOSH trained H & S guy I risk assessed this & thought yeah Im more likely to get injured in my half renovated house at home.
So as some of u will know I like birds & wildlife photography & I did a highly recommended falconry day at Holdenby Hall some years ago & vaguely remember this place. but then completely forgot about it! Another long distance isolation walk led me right by this so would of been rude not to.

What is this place then? I genuinely have no idea & cant find any history. It looks like a tudor build but Im guessing its much newer & was just a folly to the hall.
Despite the furniture & bed Im also doubt full that anyone has actually ever lived in it.

There is not much in here but its a pretty quirky place though & I enjoyed a few mins having a nose!

After I popped down to the beautiful All Saints church which unfortunately was locked up but the graffeti in the porch was interesting enough!

Love this, ever heard the rhyme "Good night, sleep tight, hope the bedbugs don't bite" well, this is the bed you would have slept in, the ropes were tightened each night to make the rope taught, hence sleep tight, then the mattress was covered in straw for insulation, hence "hope the bedbugs don't bite".

What a great little place. Looks like something out of an ancient village film. Love it. Well named too. Excellent find. And most intriguing . :thumb :cool:
