  • Today we stumble into what is likely to be the most unexpected find we have ever encountered whilst exploring. This decaying mansion holds within it's walls a mountain of priceless art which appears to have been left to decay. We found items worth thousands that are now almost destroyed and covered in files. On top of that we find evidence of unsavoury people living in the building. One of the most confusing explorations we have ever done.

    Matthew Stradling is represented in many art collections in Europe, America, the Far and Middle East. Born in Hertfordshire in south-east England, Matthew now works from his studio in North London. In 2001 he was selected by Sothebys to represent Britain in the 2001-2 Young Artist International Touring Exhibition and his portrait of his mother was selected for the BP Portrait Award Exhibition. In 1997 Matthew's work was included in the exhibition 'Likeness - Reflecting Sexuality' at Manchester City Art Galleries, an overview of contemporary artists whose work deals with issues around sexuality. Matthew was awarded a British Academy Scholarship to study for a Masters Degree in Fine Art at the University of Reading and went on to win the Boise Travelling Scholarship in 1990 , enabling him to continue his studies in Rome and Madrid. Whilst at St. Martin's School of Art, studying for an Honours Degree in Fine Art during the early 1980's Matthew was introduced to the painting techniques of the Old Masters , whose themes and vision continue to inspire him. He received First Class Honours in 1985

    I'm not sure what's going on with this place. As far as I know this place did get bit of a happy ending after being derelict for a long time. I think it's now owned by a trust, don't think it's the National Trust though, and the grounds are open to the public, with a cafe and a play park. The last I heard the trust had got funding to do it up again. There are reviews on google maps dating to 2 months ago so, I'm not sure what's happend to it since then. Either the boys filmed this a while ago, or the trust has left and its gone to ruin again.

I can't hardly believe that it is unprotected and people are getting into it. I hope it changes before people take and ransacked all the good stuff.

    That’s crazy.. shorly the police or the council should have an idea who owns the property.. that definitely needs securing.
