If you send me your email address I will send you a copy of their very friendly letter. My email address is 'bri.marg@btinternet.com'.

'Well perhaps they were deaconesses' she replied to my initial expostulation.

Isn't that the place where the lord of the Manor eneded up living in a small room at the top of the house? However, at Baddeseley Clinton, I did encounter some anti-catholic stuff from one of the tour guides, nothing really nasty, just drip, drip sarcasm really.<br />My membership has run out now, so I don't visit any nat trust places anymore boo hoo!mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06962374096401238994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3682550116445790117.post-9534004788846534062011-04-05T01:26:08.742+01:002011-04-05T01:26:08.742+01:00Good for you for speaking up!

If repeated often enough and long enough, 'lies' become 'facts', especially when backed by ignorance - sometimes innocent, sometimes deliberate. Perhaps a gentle letter of correction to the National Trust, who I believe own Coughton Court, might not be amiss. In fact no sooner the word than the deed, now where's my pen?umblepiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13455889107917179909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3682550116445790117.post-5912900811755013172011-04-04T11:15:47.014+01:002011-04-04T11:15:47.014+01:00well done, im afraid its just ignorance about hist...well done, im afraid its just ignorance about history's details, :( many ,many people who ought to know better just dont bother because they cant be bothered and the myths are easier than the facts.
