Description:View of the hall from across the river and fields. The Hall was rebuilt between 1821-6 by Jesse Watts Russell to the designs of John Shaw (senior). The house was a grand Gothic mansion with battlements and turrets, a stable block to the back and an octagonal tower by the entrance to the drive. Sadly the Hall has since been altered, losing some of its original features.
In more recent times the Hall became a hostel for the Youth Hostelling Association.
