Country Homes: Nocton Hall


Location: Lincolnshire
Famous Inhabitants: Albinia Hobart, Countess of Buckinghamshire
Website: http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/Details/Default.aspx?id=192338
It difficult to believe that a house with such history is listed as endangered.  After countless fires and subsequent vandalism Nocton Hall is now a shell of a once-elegant country home.  Not only did Nocton house the Tory hostess, Albinia Hobart's, lavish parties and private theatricals but also was transformed into a hospital for recovering soldiers in both WWI (for American soldiers) and WWII (for the RAF).

    Fascinating old house. Such a tragedy that it is so far from what it once was. Perhaps it will be restored someday.

    And that's another example of why I would love to win one of those $400million lotteries. Then again, I'd want to save them all...

    What a shame! The house is fascinating and incredibly beautiful. I hope someone will restore it to its previous glory.

    I looked for a site that had more info on how people could help but alas, I found none! I too wish I could save them all!

    I was born here in 1968, it is so sad it has been left to rack and ruin. It would be wonderful if it was restored to it's former glory.

    That's very cool! If I ever won the lotto I would want to buy it and restore it.
