I visited Esholt Hall a few months ago! Its now owned by Yorkshire Water and they use it for meetings/conference facilites etc. Theres a lovely little priests hole on the way to the toilets! Its in the floor, covered by glass so you can see into it. I'd have rather explored the Hall than go to the meeting I was there for!

Hi Nadia,

my ancestors (well one branch of them) owned Esholt Hall at the time you are looking at.

I've got a bit of info, if you want to send me a PM, then we can exchange what we have.
