A historic hall that was owned by Princess Diana's family and served as a convalescent home for injured soldiers during the Second World War is on the market for £995,000.
Dallington Hall in Northamptonshire was home to Diana's great uncle, Charles Spencer, when he was a politician and hosted Conservative party members in the wine cellar of this house.
Once he became the 6th Earl Spencer in 1910 when his older brother died, he moved to the family seat Althorp House and gave Dallington Hall to the council to use for the war effort.
The Grade II Listed house was sold in 1980 and converted into apartments, with this five-bedroom property comprising the major portion of the Georgian town house.
