In June 2005 Peter Cross organised an informal reunion for interested parties at Longdon. This was the result:

Although we had a good look round the exterior of the Hall, which was covered in scaffolding, we spent more time in the Swan with Two Necks!!

In June, 2006 Peter Cross arranged a second reunion at Longdon. This time he obtained admission for us to the Hall, so we got to see the interior for the first time in fifty years!

It was during this reunion that the ever observant Harry Grove uncovered the Longdon 'mystery'
