HISTORY OF GUISNES COURT At the outbreak of the First World War, Guisnes Court was owned by Lancashire-born Thomas Godfrey Binney and his wife Susan Lockhart Binney (nee Hobson), who "patriotically converted their house into a convalescent home for wounded." Thomas (1861-1944) was Lord of the Manor and principal land/property owner in the area - he owned Guisnes Court from 1906 until 1923.From Hospital Service Cards, it would appear that the Hospital at Guisnes Court operated from 28 June 1915 to December 1918. It provided 20-24 convalescent beds.For a while Guisnes Court was a popular Country Club/Night Club in the area. In c1984, the building suffered a fire and was destroyed. In 1987, the property was sympathetically rebuilt and now holds apartments.
