Parndon Hall

I spoke to MrQ on the phone from the hospital this morning. He said that he didn't want me to visit. I took no notice, got him some fruit and sweet treats and turned up there this afternoon. He was so pleased to see me that he burst into tears. I was pleased to see him looking better, the blood transfusion has definitely given him a boost. He likes the hospital food! He'll be seeing a consultant tomorrow and a plan will be made for his ongoing treatment. 

Pardon Hall is a Grade II listed Italianate building in the hospital grounds. It was used for training but is boarded up now. It was a country house built in 1867 for the Rev Joseph Arkwright - grandson of the inventor. In the 1950s it was a private primary boarding school. I've been reading how much the pupils loved it there playing amongst the pine trees, some of which still exist.
