Beningbrough Hall

Beningbrough 9

I spent today at Beningbrough Hall near York.

It’s a lovely, red-brick mansion, built at the beginning of the eighteenth century for a local landowner; now in the keeping of the National Trust.

Even by the Trust’s own high standards, it’s an exceptionally well-cared for property with an easy, welcoming atmosphere.  You can even dress up in costume and play the lady of the manor if you want to  (I did, but the costume was too big….which I presume means I don’t get to marry the prince).

If you ever get chance, it’s worth a visit.  Worth it for the laundry alone - I was entranced! (So maybe that’s my station in life….)
