We are just so lucky here in England to have so many old and beautiful buildings. And we love Ethel Webb for sure 🙂 Thanks for reading Corna, hope recovery is still going well for Berto x

Newstead Abbey is beautiful (I especially love the garden with colourful flowers – even in winter time). And a big thumbs up to Ethel Webb 😉. There is just so much history in these old buildings, thanks for sharing.

Oh I totally agree, it’s mad just one family lived there. I loved Ethel’s story 🙂

I’m also always drawn to ruins and love exploring places like this. I always find the history fascinating.

Thanks Juliette for taking the time to read and comment. I totally agree on the slavery links, it’s definitely a step forward to acknowledge it. Have a great day 🙂

It really was a great day trip Meg – it’s amazing what’s on the doorstep when you actually stop to look. So glad you enjoyed Byron’s abbey visit 🙂 Have a great day.

This places looks beautiful and really has an interesting history. It’s great that they acknowledge that it was built “””thanks to””” slavery. As you say, you can’t change the past, but not trying to hide it is already a step forward!

Living there would bring out the poetry in anyone- but to claim the poetry of Lord Byron is pretty impressive. Loved following along with you to this abbey today 🙂

I loved Ethel, I decided I’d quite like to be her friend, I’m sure it would be fun. I also liked Byron’s words, they were very fitting. I agree as well it’s a ste p in the right direction acknowledging the funding of the rebuild came from slavery and I hope more places start to do so. Thanks for reading Leighton, have a great weekend 🙂
