My Gran was a Freelance Caterer in the 1930s-40s and I have a lovely photo of her and her helpers inside the Hall in front of a beautiful wooden carved wall. I'll look it out and post it.
In this 1851 newspaper article it claims one tower was occupied by the gardener, the other by the falconer (!) Every home should have one ! Viv.In Oliver Fairclough's book "The Grand Old Mansion", he states that in the 1779s the gardener at the House ranked immediately below the Steward, and that, like his predecessor, he lived in the South lodge. I assume that that was the building on the left in the drawing
crikey jean...how exactly are you connected to the famous holte familyI can't believe I was born just down the road from here in Holte road , and someone doing my ancestry found we are members of the Holte family from Aston Hall
.
what a way to treat a member of the Holte family,bet will you be changing your avita nowI bet I'm the only person on the forum to be kicked out of Aston Hall?. I went with friends to the candelight evening. One of them said "let's see how many we can blow out" Guess who got caught and sharply evicted?. TTFN. Jean.
