Stanford Hall is a grand country house that closed after having several uses. An Art Deco theatre remains in perfect condition.
Brief history of Stanford Hall, Nottinghamshire
Stanford Hall in Stanford on Soar near Loughborough is a large 18th century, grade II listed country house in the UK. Since being used as a private residence the house has had a couple of different uses which have unfortunately removed a lot of the buildings splendour. A number of failed redevelopment projects were started, and recently a planning application has been approved to develop the building into a Defence and National Rehabilitation Centre.
An extension added an impressive Art Deco theatre in the 1930s which still remains in perfect condition. Murals decorate the walls and the ceiling features painted clouds. A Wurlitzer organ is built into the orchestra pit.
