A Victorian House visited on holiday. After a fire in 1881 the house was restored in high Victorian style, an impressive long room and preserved quarters. I found the history of the family interesting, left for South Africa in the 1950s and the house passed to the National Trust - probably the family wealth had decreased and could no longer afford the upkeep.
