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.
C'mon National Trust!!
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!
