Sulgrave Manor

Two beautiful days in a row! We can't stay inside...

The whole family went to Sulgrave Manor today. Sulgrave Manor is the ancestral home of George Washington's family. George was the last of the Washington's to step foot in the house. The house itself has had its ups and downs over the years. Only one section of the house remains from the original structure that was built in the 1500s: the bed chamber and the great hall. Each of these rooms still has the original timber ceilings that were installed when the house was built. The land that the manor stands on is actually joit UK and US territory. Both the American flag and the Union Jack fly over Sulgrave.
