Sedbury Park Care Home

"Jesus Fkin Christ" was her startled shout as my mate said good afternoon to the couple bent over the gate with their trousers round ankles thats how this explore started off anyway!

Not sure what they expected picking a secluded field edge leading to what has to be "flavour of the month" explore, but we carried on past using our discrete way to the site, trying to Stifel fits of laughter.

Its a difficult one this & I hate to be "that person" to put this out & see it get wrecked but I honestly think its only got weeks or days anyway as Im seeing it every day on FB, insta & now youtube.
Iv put it NP but I dont really have issues if admin want to move to public area, thought it may just give a few of you the oportunity to see it before its fkd.

​

Sedbury House is a Grade II* listed Georgian building designed by Sir Robert Smirke, the architect of the British Museum. The surrounding estate was established, as Barnesville, around 1800 by Sir Henry Cosby. In 1825 it was bought by the historian and antiquary George Ormerod, who renamed it Sedbury Park, and commissioned Smirke to add classical colonnades and a portico to the existing house. Ormerod's youngest daughter, Eleanor Anne Ormerod, was born there in 1828, later becoming a renowned entomologist.

​

The estates were bought by the businessman and politician Samuel Marling in 1875, and his son Sir William Henry Marling made major alterations to the house around 1898. The estate included 25 farms in Tidenham, Hewelsfield and Woolaston.The house was the home of Colonel Sir Percival Marling, V.C., before he sold it in 1921. It then became a hotel, and an approved school in 1942, before being converted to a residential nursing home. In the 1930s many of the fittings and furnishings were removed from Sedbury House to the Tennessee home of Leslie Cheek, heir to the Maxwell House coffee empire.The stable block and carriage house have been converted into residential properties.

​

Thats about all there is to say about this place, its a stunning building for sure, most the bedrooms are uninteresting but its mostly about that stairwell.

​

The library was pretty nice too & the curved link corridor really showing a different level of decay!

​

This leads to a small theatre room with a lovely but hardly visible stained glass roof lantern.

​

No worries though a mirror of this in the next room is much easier to view.

​

Few main hall rooms are quite nice too.

​

Few more mildly interesting rooms

​

Go on then a few more of stairs

​

Difficult to know where to stop with this bit Ill leave it there, plenty more pics here for anyone interested Biking Glynn

Thanks For Looking

What a cracker of a building. Beauty everywhere and just the right amount of decay in places. Shame all this will be wrecked very soon.

I quite like that! Just a shame the Facebook goons are all over it!

I loved this place, for a decaying care home it was great. Was maybe hoping that it would get mega belled up to be honest before the imminent wave began, but oh well

Couple of my friends went yesterday and got caught by a very angry owner, understandable as some complete moron goon types had driven into the site and parked directly outside the building rather than doing the subtle thing of not doing that. According to my friends (who had done the sensible thing of parking in Chepstow and walking there) the owner said they were lucky he hadn't come in armed when he saw the car outside.

Chances are it'll be very well sealed for the near future at least.

The masses are deff en route & I'm confident to say not because of my post.

From what the matey said who caught my friends, all the entrance points were going to be sealed up, how I don't know but it's probably for the best before it got utterly ransacked by the goon squads

I mean it's definitely for the best, soon as tiktok got hold of it it was basically a write-off. We didn't get caught there but I don't envy anyone being caught by an angry farmer with a gun
