RE: Visiting Seaton Delaval Hall in Northumberland

in #history • 23 hours ago

One of the owners was a trickster who held grand parties. He would sometimes put drunken guests in a room that has been turned upside down so they got a shock in the morning.

Hahahaha... That's funny! 😃 The real question is, how the heck did he get the idea to create it upside down in "those times"? 🤣 But, I have to say, it's a brilliant idea! 😂 I can imagine people waking up, with a hangover, and upside-down views... 😂

I read on Wikipedia that none of the architects lived to see the completion of the building... It's not a surprise as it is huge!

Thanks for sharing! You were lucky with the weather! It was a perfect day!
