Markenfield Hall

@jayrayner1 meet Fletcher Norton - sorry he doesn't look much like Ronnie Barker. He built the Grantley Hall you saw the other day, and the restaurant is named after him. He also bought and restored nearby @markenfieldhall where the Grantley family live today.

Markenfield Hall is delighted to announce it has received funding from The Culture Recovery Fund for Heritage. As well as saying a big thank you to @DCMS, and @HeritageFundUK for the grant; we must also say thank you to @TricolorAssocs and @Historic_Houses #HereForCulture

Comfortable flex... and a lovely view of Markenfield in the background!

Okay… we gave up and joined in!

There are some stunning views to be found at Markenfield - none more do than the view from the battlements. Take a look at this video to see that we mean. @Historic_Houses Behind Closed Doors: beautiful battlements youtu.be/Z9YZqaAJ69E via @YouTube

We can’t be the only ones madly in love with @wmarybeard ‘s beautiful bookshelves. Are we...?

Markenfield's two Black Swans did some strange things in their time... but thankfully never this!
