Conington Castle

[4] In 1941 John Norman Heathcote placed the castle at the disposal of the British Red Cross for use as a convalescent hospital.

There was also 14 secondary bedrooms and 3 bathrooms; stabling; a cottage; garages; walled gardens; and 35 acres of parkland.

[6] In November 1955 Huntingdonshire County Council received a notice of the intention to demolish Conington Castle.

The Advisory Committee of the Ministry of Housing and Local Government were of the opinion that the building was not of exceptional national interest.

[7] Two wings of the castle, a stable block and butlers accommodation, were converted in 1955 to a family home thereafter called Conington House.
