I went to view the house about 2 years ago, when it first cam eon the market. I got a couple of interested parties together with money i might say to buy it and restore, unfortunately the parties weren't that interested as it's very specialist. although we being builders and specializing in grade listed buildings, we were, but no money. Anyone out there with the money, we can do the job, and deal with the listed building consents, although i realise it's status, it merely a perfect money pit, so be warned. Would be a good project for the telly and any madly rich person out there who wants to up their national profile or company.

Absolutely fascinating! It will be an enormous restoration project, and will take many years to complete. Unfortunately money always plays a major role in these things. Please find the right individual or group who will do it correctly and share with all the people who have such fine memories and interest in the property. I wish I lived closer as I would definitely take part in whatever community, group or individual process would be necessary to assist. My wife is Carol Piercefield Willis, and we have no idea how the family name came about, but we enjoy imagining some type of connection to this beautiful area. (our home is in Arizona, USA)

It's funny to see the old place again. I grew up in Crossway Green, close to the Mansion, and as kids we used to ramble all over it (and under it...and never found the 'secret tunnel'.) I can remember the 'gas' signs on the stable doors. Back then, one could still climb what was left of the main staircase - but it looks as if that has all fallen in now. The stable actually still had its roof on in 1967 and I remeber chasing bats around in the loft! On one occasion a ram had somehow got itself up into the loft. When we tried to corner it to bring it down the stairs, it rammed the upper loft door and sailed straight out into mid-air landing with a hell of a thump but thankfully unharmed. Let's hope it is never transformed into some sterile conference centre hotel.
