The lodge itself is a creaky affair built from stone and wood salvaged from a derelict 'Big House' in the war years when supplies were hard to come by. It was built to replace the wooden lodge burnt down by poachers (who kindly swore they would), prompting the Major who owned the sporting rights to take out extra insurance, the proceeds of which funded the new build."Mark Farrell-Churchillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09867907324318184817noreply@blogger.com
