Alzira Eloise Dalton

Miss Alzira Eloise Dalton, spinster, was the last owner of Thurnham Hall.

With the death of Miss Dalton, Thurnham hall slowly deteriorated through the years of lying empty and disused. After the last war, (1939-1945), it looked as if the dilapidated building would suffer the same fate that had befallen so many of the fine old houses in this century.

Mr. & Mrs. Stanley Crabtree purchased Thurnham Hall in the early 1970's and then, assisted by their son David, completely renovated the building and brought the hall back to it's imposing former glory and splendour.
