Thursday 17th July - Bollington
After returning the key & farewelling Sue & Ken we returned to Brockenhurst via a devious route. First to Little Moreton Hall, which unfortunately opened at 11 am, so we moved on to Sandbach, instead. Here were 2 Saxon crosses & a lively market in a lovely small town. After a coffee we returned to the hall which is a perfect example of an extremely rare, moated, 16th century, half timbered manor house virtually untouched since. It looked as if it was a film set but it is totally real. We had a great tour of the building & were very impressed with the place.
Our next stop was Haughmond Abbey, a ruined Augustinian abbey near Shrewsbury, another casualty of the dissolution of the monasteries.

Lesley You cannot believe how they built such exquisite buildings Oh how I love England and how they have kept all those beautiful buildings, even in ruin they are divine. Have been doing Genealogy of my family, down line from Alfred the Great on one side of my Mum and Richard 1 on another side of Mum's, they would have lived such as this, do not know what happened down line!!!
