Hall update: Scaffolding is still up, but as I write no works have started.
The Dorset Hall Group understands that quotes have been obtained; Historic England and Merton Council have to decide the best way forward.
In 2019, an application was made to put up a Blue Plaque but it was turned down. We have been talking with the managers of the Blue Plaque scheme as to why they refused a plaque for such an important historic site. I have asked for a full answer and will report back when I have some information.
