I got to Wimpole Hall at just after 10am and there was a massive queue..... this was not good. So I turned around and headed to Melford Hall where I hoped it would be quieter....
OK I accept that is a long drive but it had to be done.... I forgot how at Easter the NT gets a little busy..... tomorrow I will be visiting another small property!
And as it's Easter the Weather was PANTS! Still Melford Hall 16th Century home of the Hyde-Parkers
The house was extensively damaged by fire in 1942 but was rebuilt. It passed to the National Trust in 1960. Oh Beatrix Potter was a cousin and a visitor.
Melford has changed it's catering ! I think for the better. They extended the "posh" seating area and the old "common" seating area / serving area is pure serving area.
Still the rain held off to after I left.... ;)

What a beautiful place - love the stained glass :)
You can only visit one or two of our local NT properties over Easter by pre-booking!
