The Derelict Mansion

It was built in 1838 by James T. Knowles for George Wyndham, 4th Earl of Egremont, of Orchard Wyndham, Somerset. Originally designed as an Italianate palace, there were no funds to complete it on such a scale, so it was constructed as two smaller, linked buildings for the Earl and his cousin, the local rector. The house was used as the rectory until 1894 and for some of that time was also a school for local children. In the middle of the nineteenth century a group of mostly Irish students studied with the Rev. William Cookesley Thompson at the house. Around the start of the twentieth century it was rented by an old woman and her daughter. From 1930 to 1939 it was a home for vagrants run by the council and the Church of England. It was a Quaker training Centre for conscientious objectors doing relief work during World War II. From 1943 to 1946 or 1947, while still owned by the Quakers, it was used a YHA Youth Hostel known as Spiceland. It became a vehicle breakers' yard in 1951. In 2013 the grounds were used as a location in the horror film In Fear.
