RE: Visiting Seaton Delaval Hall in Northumberland

in #history8 months ago

Some lovely photos Steve, You were lucky with the weather. It's interesting that the Delavals were so much into the theatre that they based their house and a welcome to their guests on the idea of a performance.

We were lucky. The weather has been so mixed lately. The whole leaflet about the place was done like a theatre programme. There was a stage in the middle of the house for kids to perform on. Obviously the rich had a lot of spare time to fill and wanted entertainment, unlike the workers.
