Melanie Edgar, Stoke Rochford Management’s Conference and Reservations Manager, in a letter sent to the Reunion Group commented, “...on Tuesday 25th January a dreadful fire occurred at Stoke Rochford Hall, devastating the mansion and its wonderful function rooms.

Stoke Rochford Management have published an official leaflet which provides further information about the fire and events since, together with future plans
