This lovingly preserved home, is the grandest historic residence in Hill End. The two-storey timber house boasts embellished timberwork and other impressive Gothic features, taking the Duke of Elgin’s hunting lodge in Scotland as its design cue. Original owner James Marshall must have been truly taken with Hill End as he decided to build Craigmoor in 1875 – well after the town had passed its heyday.
Apparently there are tours of the house, but there didn't appear to be any when we were there. Would have loved to have had a peep inside!
I've just had a look at your July calendar month - it's looking really excellent. I wish we had old building like these around us. I think todays post is a super addition to your month :)
