Ore Place

Ore Place are the ruins of a significant late medieval manor house in the northern outskirts of Hastings, East Sussex, England.

[2] Historian Thomas Walker Horsfield claimed in his History of Sussex that Ore Place was built by John of Gaunt.

[3][4] Ore Place subsequently came under the ownership of the eccentric Farmer Atkinson who allowed it to fall into disrepair.

[6] During World War II the building was requisitioned for the Royal Army Service Corps for use as a records office.

[8] Military use continued after the war, with the Army Catering Corps records department joining the RASC in April 1947.
