Copt Hall?

[Panic Button]

There is an old mansion visible from the M25 near Epping.

I believe it is called Copt Hall, and was abandoned after a fire in 1917. However I can see vehicles parked outside.

Does anyone know more about it, and is it used for anything?

I have a beautiful book called 'Epping Forest then and now' it has a large section on ' Copped Hall ' too much to write here,the medieval building had stood since the twelfth century but when it came into the possession of Sir Thomas Heneage he rebuilt the hall between 1564-68. I went there years ago it was derelict, its a conservation area now. If you go onto google and type in Copped Hall you'll get loads of stuff come up.

Hi there, they have guided tours and open days on the third sunday of every month as they are slowly renovating the house and grounds. we go once every year to see their progress - it's fascinating!
