Living In Montpellier: Wollaton Hall

April 05, 2010

Rackdaw said...: I think the correct name is Wollaton Hall - on the northern edge of Nottingham, and perhaps 40m south of Hardwick Hall ("More Glass than Wall") - both possibly designed by the same architect in the mid-16th century. Hardwick certainly "vaut le détour" and do not miss Wollaton if you're in Nottingham. Add Newstead Abbey in Sherwood Forest to the list of "must-see" historic houses, home of Lord Byron, and Southwell Abbey, one of the finest great Norman churches in England.
