Annesley Hall is a grade 2 listed building and is located in Annesley, Nottinghamshire in England.
The hall was built around 1156 when William the Conqueror bestowed the hall to a fellow Norman.
Over the years Annesley Hall has been the home of many Lords including the famous poet, Lord Byron.
During the 14th century the Bubonic Plague ravaged the surrounding area and many of its victims were buried in the graveyard right next door to the hall.
When electricity was being installed into the hall during the 1940′s the skeletal remains of a heavily pregnant young lady were found underneath a staircase. Carbon dating dated the bones back to the 1600′s during which period in time a young maid who worked in the hall went missing.
During the 19th century the village surrounding the hall was demolished.
The hall left family ownership in 1973. After which it slowly started to fall into disrepair.
In 1997 a huge fire broke out in Annesley hall ravaging the building and leaving nothing but an empty shell. The same condition in which it still stands today.
Today Annesley Hall is privately owned.
