What We Did Last Saturday

[poliphilo]

This is Sudbury Hall. We stopped here on the way home last Saturday. The house is 17th century and grand and cold and echoey. The servant's wing houses a charming Museum of Childhood- where we sat for fifteen minutes in a mock-up of a late Victorian schoolroom and got to write on slates and practice our seven times table.



The church- just off to the side of the house- is mostly 19th century restoration, but I managed to find this charming (15th century?) angel on the north wall.

It's a handsome house. I like the look of it from the outside. It's the interior I found cold and impersonal.

The angel is on the north wall of the church, which is medieval, but heavily restored.
