Is this level of nesting really necessary? I'm sure it works but it does
make your config un-necessarily difficult to follow/troubleshoot.

The ping-service is only applied to hosts in the Grossley 
Hall hostgroup. Are these hosts in that hostgroup? Since you don't
specify it in the host definition you must have a hostgroup{} definition
for Grossley Hall that includes them. Alternately, these hosts could be
added to a new hostgroup that is included in the ping-service above.
Alternately, you could have a specific service{} definition for these
specific hosts that uses the ping-service.
