Sadly, the fine 18th century mansion known as the Rookery is no more, and is now recalled only in name (it had once been the property of William Joynson). Neglected for many years, plans had actually been prepared for converting it into flats. In spite of its Grade II listing, it was finally demolished following a mysterious fire on the night of April 16th 1980.
