Lyddington Bede House


After visiting Kirby Hall (see the post below), we stopped by the Lyddington Bede House before heading home. The Bede House was originally owned by some bishops but eventually was used as an almshouse for bedesmen. The building was pretty well preserved, although most of the furnishings were gone. We were able to go inside all of the old bedesmen rooms, which were really small with low ceilings. The boys enjoyed running around and making noise, while looking for ghosts and monsters. The Bede House was located on the same property as a beautiful old church and cemetery, both of which are still in use.

You have been to enough castles and stuff to know what the deep hole with all the skid marks in the bathroom was. Don't let the boys touch anything!
