10/12/24 - Hanbury Hall

Things I Grew Up With Are Now Museum Exhibits


First proper usage of my National Trust Membership. The closest attraction, Hanbury Hall. A place I have walked around, but never set foot inside.

Today's walk is functional. Muddy countryside, an ascent of Pipers Hill for the church and back down through the grounds.

The Inspiration for Lower Loxley Hall in the Archers

Allowed in, as I had brought a change of shoes.

Let's go through the round window

Back in an hour. Through the National Trust's Checkpoint Charlie and adorned with a sticker to prove membership. Its a tour through the rooms of Hanbury Hall. The Theme, Christmas past.

The exhibits? Floppy disks. Cassettes. Ghetto Blasters. Smash Hits. 

Exhibit A
And this bad boy

Basically, the things from my youth are now museum exhibits.

A gentle weep in the car before setting off for home.
