Following the death of Sir William Wells in 1889, the house was passed onto Lord de Ramsey of Ramsey Abbey and then to John Ashton Fielden, one of the richest men in England due to his family’s links to cotton manufacturing. Four decades later, Holmewood Hall took on a very different role in wartime Britain and was used as a base for the US Office of Strategic Services (OSS).
In 1944 however, the Wells family returned to Holmewood, with descendant Sir John Wells purchasing the site with hopes to restore it, a dream that he was, unfortunately, unable to achieve due to the poor state of the house. In 1951, the house and wider estate were purchased by British Sugar, part of which was sold back to the Crown.
Fast forward to 2019, and the hall became part of the Country House Weddings portfolio.

Interesting mooch about. Its odd to think that so many of the 'temporary ' wartime buildings, blockhouses etc are still there after only being in use for a few years. I wonder how many people getting married there would know or care about the halls colourful past?. I wonder why it was returned in 1944?, id have thought the military would of hung on to it until wars end,i suppose after d day 🤔🤔? then again they requesitioned so many places during ww2 that it may of just become surplus to their requirements, cheers james 😊😊😊😊
