1. The History
The history of the place is on my previous report HERE.
2. The Explore
Revisit is better than no visit so popped by this place again. It's a superb little gem. This time it was cold and there was snow on the ground so it have a much colder feel to the place. It was also late in the day so the light was also a bit in short supply. Got a decent enough set to merit another report.
3. The Pictures
On with the pictures. The first thing you come to is this superb and rather odd statue:

And on to the main part of the explore:

Note the butler's call bell on the left of the wall:

This wing is in reasonable condition:

Compared to the one opposite:

It's a lot less over-grown in winter:

Back inside and an old sink:

The roof to this corner room has totally gone:

And back to that unwanted modern-art sculpture:

A truly enchanting little place:
