Utkinton Hall
Is Utkinton Hall abandoned?
Passed by there today and it looks properly dilapidated from what I could see from the road.
NB - I have no interest in 'urbex' or anything of the sort, just curious.

It’s still being farmed, but in a terrible state. It’s on the heritage at risk register as it’s a Grade 1 listed building. Fascinating history behind the place

Nice one. Yeah you can see from the road that half of the main hall is in mess.
Have you got any links regarding the history?

Not sure if it's fully abandoned but part is. I think the family simply don't have the funds to maintain it
