The last 30 years of Middleton Hall’s history have been arguably the most dramatic. The Hall and grounds have been transformed from an unloved ruin to historic gem by the team of volunteers at the Middleton Hall Trust.
•The restoration has been carried out by volunteer labour over the last 35 years.
•English Heritage granted the Trust special dispensation to restore the buildings to the state of their original construction.
•Our next big project is the ‘Tudor Barn’ which is part of The Courtyard.
Having been a beloved family home for the Willoughby family for 500 years Middleton Hall was sold in 1925, and then sold on again in the 1966 to Amey Roadstone and became prey to the effects of the gravel extraction that dominated the stretch of the Tame before it enters Tamworth.
For the latter half of the twentieth century Middleton Hall was allowed to fall into serious decay. When, in the late 1970s, a group of ramblers came across its crumbling shell. The hall had stood abandoned for less than 20 years and yet in that time it was thought that irreparable damage had been done, by the elements and by vandals. The Grounds had become overgrown and wild and the buildings were barely standing. By the time Middleton Hall was given Grade II listed status, its grand stained glass windows had been smashed, its woodwork was rotting away and some roofs and floors were missing.
There is however a happy end to this story as for the past 30 years, Middleton Hall has been lovingly transformed thanks to the skill and devotion of a large team of volunteers. Since the Middleton Hall Restoration Trust, a registered charity, was set up in 1980, volunteers have put in hundreds of thousands of hours of work to rebuild, renovate and restore the site. And there is still a huge amount of work to be done and the Trust always welcomes new volunteers to continue its valuable historic and conservation work.
During the early days of the Trust volunteers had to become history detectives. They set about researching the history of Middleton Hall and developing an archive of drawings and photographs which were to become the blue prints on which the restoration plans were drawn up, for both the Hall, the walled gardens and the grounds of the estate. The Hall’s Georgian facia was stripped back to reveal disintegrating evidence of a once striking example of Tudor architecture. The buildings, which span 700 years of English domestic architecture, were sympathetically and painstakingly reconstructed using traditional techniques of the periods and where possible returned to the form of their original construction. The 42 acres, which include two walled gardens, a moat, evidence of the Hall’s industrial and agricultural past and the earliest man-made lake in Warwickshire has been carefully nurtured by the Trust volunteers. The grounds are noted for the variety of wild flowers and the wildlife they attract from bats, moths and a wide variety of breeding birds.

Happy Fence Friday!!
This is literally called "The Red Barn"! It is the charming venue for my son's upcoming wedding in May. The ceremony will be held outdoors under the pines. The barn has three levels, where dinner will be served , with dancing and celebrating afterward.
My beautiful Fiance and I are getting married here in july. The church is stunning and was built by the same people who built the famous Rosslyn Chapple. This is black and white picture of the back of the church.

Week 27
Theme: Where I live
Believe it or not, this is the rather ornate interior of the local town hall in Woolwich. It's used for various functions and also weddings. I can't help but think it would be a very pretty place for a wedding and wouldn't mind photographing one here. Certainly a better prospect than some council registry offices.

The Jewel Box, located on a 17-acre site in Forest Park, was built by the City of St. Louis in 1936 and is operated by the Department of Parks, Recreation and Forestry. It is listed on the National Historic Register.
Thank you for viewing.
Locked-down wedding venue!
They must be wondering what the correct combination is for when they can hold huge weddings again! The virus situation has hit places like this particularly hard as they used to hold weddings for up to 300 guests and now no business for nearly a year. Weddings at the moment are limited to just a handful of participants.
