Albury Hall

This barn appears to be all that is left of Albury Hall, a country house that was demolished c. 1950. The house and the estate dominated the village of Albury and the five adjacent hamlets from the late 18th Century up to the Second World War. It was the seat of a number of powerful and prominent people in politics and banking and employed the majority of the population of the district in agriculture and allied trades. The local village website is active and very informative with the history and old photographs of the house and can be found at Link

Albury

The finest village football pitch complete with dugouts for the management, railings to keep the spectators in order, and there is a pavilion, not in the photo, too. The tower of the 13th Century Church of St. Mary The Virgin is visible above the trees. The very informative and active village website can be found here Link
