Throwley Old Hall is now just a ruin, but is easily accessible, lying just off the narrow road to Grindon in the Staffordshire Peak District. The ground is all overgrown, and, despite being listed, it still lies amid a lot of its own collapsed rubble.
It's in a beautiful spot, but very few people seem to know about it - which maybe is a good thing.
I love it because of its elegant Tudor shape and a couple of old stonework mouldings which weren't spoilt when it was refurbished in the 19th Century. Now, it just lies in the sun, slumbering.
Because it is next to a farm, it has not been vandalised. For which we should be thankful.
