History...

Walton Hall was part of a little village in the 17th century. Decimated by the Black Death, the village disappeared and all was left was the church and the manor house built on the site of the present Hall. A wealthy family then lived in the house which was rebuilt in the classical style in the 18th century. It was occupied by the army during WWII, became a girls school and was then converted into the superb hotel that it is today.

These are the columns behind which Hyacinth and Richard were hiding from Onslow and Daddy who were looking for elephants. They were all seen emerging from the wooden and glass door.
