Description: | 1952.
Image shows Parlington Hall in a state of decay and about to be demolished. The central building shows the dining room with bay windows. To the left of it was Mrs Gascoigne's Room and to the right the small Drawing Room. At the left edge part of the west wing is visible the only part of Parlington Hall to survive and still standing today. This is thought to be the oldest part of the house. The building on the right housed the Drawing room. Parlington Hall was the former residence of the Gascoigne family but was abandoned after the death of Colonel Frederick Charles Trench Gascoigne at the age of 91 in 1905. His son, Colonel Frederick Richard Thomas Trench Gascoigne made nearby Lotherton Hall his family residence after inheriting the estate on the death of Elizabeth Gascoigne his aunt.
