Thankfully it had been restored over the years, it's tragic when these amazing historic homes are sometimes abandoned. Of course the cost is immense for places such as this, but it's very sad if they are left to crumble to the ground. Imagine building homes like that today!!!!<br /><br />Glad to see you here Maggie dear - hope life is good and you are ready for the French Winter ahead - and that it will be a mild one!<br /><br />Hugs from still warmish and very colorful NC.<br />Mary XMaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11915239653283205065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-273529961191788075.post-8858353931469704272013-11-20T22:50:42.686-08:002013-11-20T22:50:42.686-08:00Beautiful post, Maggie!

I can hardly fathom it. <br /><br />As soon as I read "Derbyshire" I thought of Pride and Prejudice and then you mentioned it later!

I am fascinated by the restoration shown around the window. This must require such skill to fit the old and the new together. Lovely to see the flowers still blooming in England!Sheilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17747219456841194840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-273529961191788075.post-84588652576898717762013-11-20T06:16:08.052-08:002013-11-20T06:16:08.052-08:00Here in the states, public television aire a speci...Here in the states, public television aire a special on the grat halls of England, saying that many of tem had been lost during WW II. It was a wonderful show and I do not remember if Hadden had been one them. Truely an English treasure.
