More about this scene

Canford Manor, not far from Wimborne, dates from the early years of the 19th century, though it stands on the site of an ancient house which once belonged to the Earls of Salisbury. The present building, now a public school, was for many years the country seat of Lord Wimborne.

My mother was a cook at Canford School. I remember her Christmas parties being held in the great hall. It was/is such a magnificent house.  Oh - happy memories.
