Explored this one with Hughie on a fine sunny spring day.
Great to meet you chap
Haven’t been able to explore much this year, as broke my toe over Christmas!
I have also been planning a big project – a roadtrip to remote territories aborad, which has taken up a bit of time. And with other life commitments, I have only recently been able to get out for a few exploring jaunts, but it was great to get back out again.
This was an interesting place, left to rack and ruin.
Later on, went with Frizman to look at a couple of other leads; some fruitful, some not so. Finished the day with a pint, and a take away curry, what more could you ask for on a spontaneous trip out.
The manor was built around 1819, and had a big fire in 1906. The manor was rebuilt & restored. This has been known as the stables or coach house, but is a part of the manor that was not demolished after the fire.
all this detailed hand carved stone
the bog
and there was this statue in the grounds. see the detail on that.
