Beautiful old Tudor manor house, between Ormskirk and Preston, in NW England.

Lovely shots,    Im surprised you didnt do a guess where post before posting these.

I had one in mind, but since you guessed where we were before we'd even got BACK, I thought it pointless

Wow, amazing shots Mr. B.    I love the architectural style of the old manor house.

Thanks. Originally built in 1642, it has some Victorian extension as well.

Thanks to your great camera work I could tell it had a different period extension added on.  

They just don't build them like that anymore.

I have some video to edit and post ( inside and out) later on.

Sweet place. Reminds me of both Gainsborough Old Hall and Bramall!

Similar construction, Depp. Did you visit Little Moreton Hall on your travels? That's another mansion of the same era and style.

Oh yes, I forgot about that.     That must have been slightly peeving.

I just visited it on DuckDuckGo - nicely crooked. Had never heard of it (as it's not EH...)

Well worth a visit, if you get time in September.

That has to be another September - heading south this time.

Ah yes, of course.  Keep it on the "ToDO" list though, for the future

Sounds great.  I'll keep an eye out for it.

Maybe by the weekend, I've got a couple of busy days ahead.

You didnt really tell me anything this time.    Just that you were on a coach trip.    I could tell you how I twigged.

No rush at all.  Hope the weather cooperates with your busy day plans.

You did. You lined up the clues I'd inadvertently given and drew the right conclusion

They actually turned grey this afternoon, and about ten minutes after we got in, it began to rain. Lucky timing.

I did notice they have removed the schedule for ruffed hall on there so maybe next time you need to wait until the site is updated before you mention anything.
