The Friends of Meersbrook Hall have been in the news:

One correction that needs to be made clear is that the hall hasn’t been empty since 2016 and the Heeley Trust used it successfully up until 2023. The trust could not secure a long term lease and the costs of running the hall without this could not be justified.
It has, however been empty since the trust left.
