Ruined but not Destroyed




The remains of the great hall, framed by the specimen trees behind, the shrubs and climbers at the front.

All it needed was a damson damsel (you plum!) calling from the upper windows.
Having been through the last habitable parts of the building, we emerged on the eastern aspect. Lady Rosse (nee Messel) moved back into the undamaged part of the house in 1979 and remained there until her death in 1992.
Ah, ha... a damsel is found, lurking by the entrance watching for prince charming. He, however, was too busy taking the pictures to notice.
