Beningbrough Hall

Friday 3 December 2010

Hello and welcome to Beningbrough Hall and gardens, just outside York. These snaps of me were taken when I visited in September. Although it's all cold and frosty now, it was a lovely day back then and all the flowers were still out.

The hall was built in 1716 (wow!) and and is very beautiful. It also features a lot of 'down stairs' placesto see as well. Here I am in the laundry. My word, I'm very glad I don't have to wash my clothes this way.

This is me on the front steps to the hall just before I went in. Because it's run by the National Trust, I wasn't allowed to take pictures inside. Meanies!

Look at this! This is the best giant teapot I've ever seen. It is covered with hundreds of different hand made ceramic tiles. Made me fancy a cuppa!

The best way to finish any National Trust visit is a turn around the shop. I found a few things to buy and the nice lady is just putting them in a bag for me.

Good thing no one thought I was for sale!

More next time with a visit to Castle Howard!
