Baddesley Clinton
Baddesley Clinton, in the Forest of Arden, was the home of the Ferrers family, Catholic recusants in the time of the Tudors. It has everything you could want: a moat, a Priest’s Hole, fancy chimneys, friendly ducks and dignified geese, and a chair in every room for the temporarily disabled.
My friend, Judy (see Morfe Nevin in 2009) found this hidden gem, and we arranged to meet there while she was south and east of her usual base in Cheshire.
