Well it was certainly there 12 years ago. I used to go past the farmhouse and the windmill on my way into Sutton. I don't think it was an active farm and the windmill had no sails.

Obviously not the same farm or location

Hi, if you remember it 12 years ago, it is not the same farm.

Ash Farm was  demolished  about 40 years ago. It was a farm dating back to the  mid/early 1800s situated between Kirkby
and Sutton in Ashfield

Are you referring to Ash farm in Sutton in Ashfield which was where the site of the current  Ashfield Comprehensive school is ?

Hello Suzie...thanks for the update.  Its good to hear of someone who is actively researching and attempting  to preserve what is left of the old hall.
 The decline I have  seen in Annesley Old Hall  during my lifetime is very sad to say the least.
 I remember it being inhabited by the old Colonel who used occasionally come to the evening  service at the 'new' church. To see the old hall in state it is now, is very sad.
You mention a talk by Mr Starr....is this on the 8th (Sept) ...at the old church?   If so, what sort of time is this taking place?
I no longer live in the locality but will happily travel down.
Finally the only other resource I can think regarding Annesley History is Frank Lyons book 'Hills of Annesley', but I'm sure you're already aware of that.

regards    Alan

Looking for any information or connection with Annesley Hall Nottinghamshire, the family of Chaworth- Musters and the village of Annesley.
Project of restoring the Old Church Tower under- way and family tales, historical points or similar are welcomed.

Hello Suzie ....Annesley was my birthplace and I was down at the old church photographing only a couple of weeks ago. !

For research you can do no  better than a copy of "Annesley through the Ages " by Dennis Pearson.
It covers everything you want to know with the exception of the recent restoration project.
Dennis was a local historian who published a high quality hardback book of some 380 pages in 1995.
Sadly he died several years ago. 
I think there may still be copies available  at the local Kirkby Conservation Society.
 I'm due to be visiting in the next week so I'll find out if they are still available and get back to you.
