Last week I was thrilled to share with you a view I’d seen that week from a first-floor art studio. This week, I’ve been to the Beaumanor Hall Christmas gift fair, and managed to take a few photos out of a couple of the windows, which show the scaffolding, presumably around the chimneys. I’ve trawled back through my photograph collection and discovered that I seem to like Beaumanor Hall – could it be its connection with the architect of Nelson’s Column? – and I’ve taken a few photographs looking out onto various parts of the estate.
Of late there have been problems at the hall: recently it was closed for some emergency repair work to its chimneys, and there is concern that the hall doesn't earn enough money to pay for its upkeep, and is thus in danger of being sold off by the county council who own it. It's currently used as the Register Office for the area, and hosts events like the Christmas Fair, as well as history and building tours, and as an outdoor pursuits centre for schools. There has been a recent consultation asking members of the public for fundraising ideas, in the hope that the predicted shortfall of over £500K can be averted - or at the very least decreased.
So, please enjoy this selection of views from the windows of Beaumanor Hall!
