It is great that the buildings have been preserved and their new purpose is something to be very proud of -just a bit sad that local Am-Dram organisations have lost a wonderful venue. If you find it on Google Maps, the fields half a mile north of the site house my favourite horse,

I have never seen one of those appearing I must try and catch one sometime although I guess they are like hens teeth nowadays.
Nice bit of local knowledge I hadn't realised that about Headley Court.
