The sad neglect and closure of Hutchesons Hall was discussed today at the Hutchesons Hospital Trust meeting and all are not best pleased with how NTS has more or less walked away from its responsibilities there. Unusually, it seems that the NTS actually bought this property for market value, rather than being given it. This would suggest to me that they positively wanted it, which is ironic considering how they have not used it for some time now and there seems nothing on the horizon. I would have thought that a commercial use for weddings and so on would have been viable and would at least have meant some money coming it to ensure it was maintained.
