Remains of Swarkestone Old Hall, Derby Road, Swarkestone - South Derbyshire

Remains of Swarkestone Old Hall and complex of walls relating to the gardens of the Old Hall, C16. All buildings are in a state of decay with dislodged bricks and stone work particularly prevalent to the tops of walls and in openings. Owner has worked with Natural England through a Countryside Stewardship Scheme in the past to address these issues. Cows have now been replaced by sheep, thereby reducing attrition to the walls. The owners wish to undertake further repairs.
