My final photograph from Clifton Hall is of one of the lions that guards the pathway to the rear of the house. You would have seen a photo of them on the estate agents' website. But they just showed their rears & not their faces. So here's what they look like. Not sure why they are asleep. Maybe they are like Bagpuss and only wake up when something exciting happens!
Many thanks GM, I have loved the photo's and story of Clifton Hall. I cannot help but feel sad at what will be the demise of the beautiful old hall. I wish the National Trust could come onboard but I'm sure they are overwhelmed with so many deserving projects. I loved the sleeping lion but felt sorry he is no longer in his glory. Obviously new houses have been built very close by. That's progress for you. Have a good weekend. Linda

Silly old Bagpuss, but Emily wouldn't have him any other way. Reminds me of Lenny the lion, so camp and cute.
