Field of Bright Yellow Rapeseed at Sutton Scarsdale Hall Ruins
We called in at Sutton Scarsdale Hall, which is a Grade 1 listed Georgian mansion built in 1724 -29. Sadly, only the outside shell remains and it has no roof. The hall was sold off to asset strippers and the architectural salvage was sold to the USA.
The last person to buy the hall was Sir Osbert Sitwell in 1945, just before it was due to be pulled down. Later on, in 1971, the hall was transferred to the care of the Ministry of Public Building and Works and was then classed as an Ancient Monument. Source
For the past 10 years, it's had a metal fence around it as it is was deemed unsafe. There has been a bit of conservation work done to it inside, but it is very slow progress.
There are some lovely views over the fields, especially at the moment as the hall is surrounded by yellow rapeseed.
It would have been nice to have a walk inside the ruin. It seems strange that someone in the USA is looking at the insides of this hall at the Museum of Art in Philadelphia. It's still an interesting visit though for the views and to take photos. I'm really pleased they didn't demolish it all together.

Thank you! ❤️
Really, now I am going to have to go to the museum soon and check it out!
I actually don't like when they take apart a Stately place like that and piecemeal it out. You have so many amazing sights to see where you live, I am always stunned when I click on your post.
The rapeseed is stunning, fields and fields of it. I remember it from when I lived in Europe and how much I looked forward to it. The shot with the road cutting a path! Wonderful!
Thank you for sharing a brief history. I love the architecture. Can you imagine living in a place like that? I might get tired running back and forth, you think? I am hoping a maid comes with one that size. :)
Hi, Julie! @ellenripley
Hi Denise. That made me laugh. Yes, I'd want a maid as well! The hall is always interesting to visit, but the rapeseed made it look even better.
Thank you, @dswigle. ❤️
What a beautiful place, the yellow flowers that cover almost the entire landscape look great, it's good that the building was not demolished, it is a sample of the excellent architecture of the past. Nice place to visit. Greetings.
Hi Thank you. I don't think they will ever pull it down down.
