Another blog post on my visit to Normanby Hall, in North Lincolnshire.
My visit was for research to help write my historical novels, which usually
include a manor house or two! It is wonderful to walk in the past's shoes. To
see the furniture used in the days of my characters. I can feel the atmosphere
in my mind and absorb vibe of the era, which I hopefully transfer into my
stories.
This photo I took half
way down the driveway, from the rad to the village. You can just see the gate
posts right at the end. The drive continues to go through an avenue of trees
until it passes the stables, then the trees finish to open up in a park in front
of the house, see photo above.

The entrance hall of the house is
square with rooms coming off to the right and the staircase to the left. The
above photo is taken from the doorway leading into the drawing room, which is
shown in photos below.
