Full Description
{2} "Troops were quartered in Fawsley Hall 1941-46, and did a great deal of damage especially to the Tudor panelling in the great hall. Concrete hard standings are still visible at the roadside between the upper and lower lakes near the church gate. It is still possible to see tank tracks in Badby Wood, near the Dower House, though these are rapidly disppearing under secondary growth."
