When I saw your photos of the staircase, I immediately brought it to my daughter's attention because she has been asking me about Jane Austen's books and your photo is exactly how I had pictured the staircase in my mind's eye from Jane Austen's description of the estate and I said so. Later, I laughed when I scrolled down to read that this very house was used for the BBC's version of Pride and Prejudice. Just goes to show what a descriptive writer Jane Austen is and how marvellous your photographs are for capturing the mood and grandeur of Sudbury. I am in Australia and the nearest thing to a stately home that I have visited is the Governor's Residence in my home city but it is nothing like Sudbury. Beautiful. What a lovely afternoon.Jodiebodiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11377052537742885631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8247444515135484880.post-16455943836086342822014-03-13T23:55:53.821+00:002014-03-13T23:55:53.821+00:00Thanks for giving us the chance to see inside this...Thanks for giving us the chance to see inside this historic building.

Wonderful to...Jacquie, this was such a great post.<br /><br />Wonderful to see what your NT membership lead you and yours to. And many thanks for taking your camera along and for your very interesting comments on the tour of Sudbury. Sometimes such magnificent "homes" just seem way beyond any mere mortal's comprehension. I do like you as my tour guide.<br /><br />Wouldn't it be loverly to just take up residence in one of those grand rooms...with kitchen and bathroom privileges, of course. I would jump at the chance!<br /><br />Over here in the States I'd never before known anything about Be-ro and thank you for the introduction. Perhaps on my next trip to the UK, I might visit some thrift shop or other source and come across one of these booklets. Many thanks!<br /><br />Now I am really looking forward to where you might be taking us next. xoFranceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08352407314710067616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8247444515135484880.post-31595042847807713172014-03-12T22:16:02.223+00:002014-03-12T22:16:02.223+00:00Love the Be-Ro cookbooks, just purchased the 41st ...Love the Be-Ro cookbooks, just purchased the 41st edition last September which has some new recipes in, been making Apricot & Sunflower Seed Oat Cookies, I still keep the old cookbooks, can't seem to throw them away!

I've toured some place in London and Bath, but being from the U.S. I don't get much chance to visit England. I so enjoyed this post, from the kitchen to the bedrooms. The painted ceilings alway amaze me. Without our modern technology, works of art were created that last to this day. Versaille in France was a complete amazement to me. I'm so looking forward to future posts about your other visits.<br />Blessings,<br />BetsyBetsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00807691752817225336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8247444515135484880.post-85947388783068652392014-03-12T19:11:04.286+00:002014-03-12T19:11:04.286+00:00Sudbury Hall looks wonderful, I'm sure you wil...Sudbury Hall looks wonderful, I'm sure you will find many other fantastic NT properties to enjoy.
