Berkyn Manor,Slough 2012.
Berkyn Manor has been derelict since the late 1980`s and still has most of the late owners cherished possessions still inside,I find this very sad indeed.A little background history:
The Rayner family has been farming in the Colnbrook area since the reign of Elizabeth I. In 1945, the family purchased Berkyn Manor Farm & Manor House in Horton, together with 60 acres of land (the site of Berkyn Manor was also the home to the famous poet, Milton, and his parents from 1632 to 1638). In 1954, J Rayner & Sons Ltd was founded from the original farming partnership.
This place has been around since the 1600s and is a real time warp inside. The last resident Ernest Rayner (former County Councillor) died aged 96 in 1987.
