Hi

Can anyone help with Lorton Hall? Does it still exist? I believe it was once the home of the Stretton family in the middle of the 19th century.

Looks like it has changed its name and is now a hotel:

They state on the site that it is marked as Lorton Hall on the OS maps.

Hi

Thank you very much to the both of you for these links.  What beautiful old building it is & in an equally beautiful setting.  It's really great to see what the place looks like!
