June 1977 issue

By September 1985, John and Gillian Nevin had taken over running the Hall, and immediately caused concern over the felling of trees. The Council imposed a Tree Preservation Order on 22 individual trees, 3 groups and an area of woodland. In November 1985, 14 new houses at Hockwold Hall were advertised in the “Jet 48” base newspaper.  This was based on approval previously given to Mr Law, but only for 10 units as additional hotel accommodation, not for independent sale. None were built.
