Tuesday 11th June

Today we visited Brodsworth Hall to see the roses but we were a couple of weeks too early, though the rest of the gardens were lovely.

 

We saw the laburnum arch just at the right time and the scent when we were underneath it was lovely.

There was a croquet match taking place on the big lawn to one side of the hall.

After lunch we drove the short distance to Cusworth Hall on the other side of the A1.

The museum inside the hall was very good.

The chapel had been neglected and during restoration these painted ceiling panels were found underneath many layers of paint.

We walked through the gardens down to the lakes and enjoyed watching the varied birdlife.
