Hello Paul. It’s a fascinating building and I was seriously tempted when it came on the market a few years ago (the estate agents shamelessly plagiarised my blog for the sales particulars!). I must go and see what the new owners have done with the place. The village is so welcoming, with the village hall open for walkers to make a hot drink and use the facilities.

Thanks for the story. Came across Fort Horne (curiously spelt Horne on its house nameplate) on a walk yesterday. Your blog was the top of list when I googled the property just now. I was going to email you about it. Heaven forbid that Masham would ever have been invaded! Like you I enjoyed a nose around St Oswalds too.

I hadn’t thought of that but yes, good point! Thanks for commenting Simon.
