A welcome from Nicholas and Viola Halsey
Today it is reassuring to find somewhere which has nearly five centuries of continuity, while continually adapting to embrace the modern age. Historically a farming and forestry estate, Gaddesden now offers, not only high quality homes and offices to let and facilities for horse owners, but also locations for film and TV production companies. We are very pleased to welcome corporate teambuilding and to offer facilities for small business meetings.

Agatha Bainbridge
Agatha, 5th and last surviving child of Sir Walter Halsey, 2nd baronet, has died aged 97 on Flinder's lsland, Tasmania, where she was buried on 16th December. She was the last living link to the time before the Great War, and retained many memories of Gaddesden from the period between the wars, particularly of people and places on the estate.
