The Rayner family has been farming in the Colnbrook area since the reign of Elizabeth I.In 1945, the family purchased Berkyn Manor Farm & Manor House in Horton, together with 60 acres of land (the site of Berkyn Manor was also the home to the famous poet, Milton, and his parents from 1632 to 1638). In 1954, J Rayner & Sons Ltd was founded from the original farming partnership. This place has been around since the 1600s and is a real time warp inside. The last resident Ernest Rayner (former County Councillor) died aged 96 in 1987. Berkyn Manor has been derelict since the late 1980`s and still has most of the late owners cherished possessions still inside.

too sad...

I'll never understand why family leaves such riches behind....so much beautiful furniture, old dishes, the old medicine bottles, and I'm certain there's more than a few first edition books. If the homeowner had no relatives, one would think the town/state would take possession. So sad....

i can see why the owner was so possessive of this place, the things in there are so old they would sell for a lot of money, but still no reason for him to be so aggressive.

Wow love your video and your name!

How sad..I bet this place was very beautiful back when the family lived there..and such a historic story. Rooms look so sad like the whole place is dying. Can it be repaired ?
-
such a beautiful relic had to amount to such disparity. It looks so grand. why won't people restore these beauties.
-

this is so beautiful yet so sad. how could anyone let this beautiful old place just sit and die. it makes me want to cry. if I were very rich I would want to save all these homes. its hard to see them in this run down manner. I thank you for showing us the beauty still left in these homes
