Notes From Elsewhere
Hugo inherited New Hall on the death of his father in 1829 but spent most of his life traveling, and whilst in England, tended to stay at his home in Ridware. New Hall was occupied by a farmer for most of the first decade and largely used for storage purposes, the room above the Great Chamber was used as an apple store, and by 1840 the floor was so rotten that it became unsafe. The house was then let to a Birmingham merchant named Jacot, until Hugo returned from his final journey and took up residence at New Hall, circa 1850. He thoroughly repaired the armorial cornice in the Great Chamber and restored much of the building, passing the estate to his son on his death in 1854.
