This might be my last post until January 23 so I'd like to wish you all a very merry Christmas, Happy New Year and happy holidays, and... try not to forget me!
And my last post before Christmas takes us to Devon, in England. Jan-Eric and Jennifer Österlund live in this 1830 manor house which has never been extended and is a typical medieval hall house. A 14th century manor all dressed up for Christmas. If you'd like to read the whole story just click
here.

| Four men were needed to carry the impressive tree into the great hall and a wooden frame was specially built to support it safely. |
 |
| The oak door dates from the 1560s. |
 |
| The fireplace in the great hall was installed by William Sherman; his
initials and those of his wife are carved as part of the frieze. The
Flemish tapestry, c1680, illustrates the Story of Samson. |
