Alnwick Castle, Northumberland, UK

Known today especially for its gardens, Alnwick Castle was first buyilt in 1096, possibly on the site of an earlier Roman fort. It was rebuilt in the 1300s and again in the 1700s. The same family has lived there, Percy, since around 1300.

Cholmondeley Castle.

It’s pronounced “Chumley” and the same family has been living there since 1066 or so (they must be getting old by now).

The castle was built in the early 19th century, replacing an older wooden hall. Sorry, i don’t know if it has a dungeon :) The chapel (i think on the right) is much older.

Next up today was a visit to the Watts Gallery. Home to George & Mary Watts. It included a gallery of interesting art work (sadly you can't photograph some of it), their home & a very unique Chapel.

Today's visit to Holme Pierrepont Hall just outside of Nottingham. The same family have lived there since 1280. Suffragette Georgina Brackenbury was a member of the family. The gardens were lovely but sadly you can't take pictures of the insides.

Gawthorpe Hall was, of course, looking resplendent as always this morning. How lucky we are here to have such a wonderful place nearby.

A festive visit to Canons Ashby. The decorations are inspired by John Dryden's King Arthur poem. Dryden used to live here.

A Christmassy Greys Court. One of my favourites. It almost looks like the family could return at any moment!
