The old estates are fascinating to be fair ...I was fortunate to work on Wellbeck in north motts for a short time back in the 80.s...
And this might sound a bit geeky....but this week I was working close to Uston estate in Norfolk...went through the village every night....and was explaining to my colleague how places like Uston were big boys on the block back in Victorian and Edwardian game shooting times...Uston / Elvdon often had keepers sent to them to learn game rearing ...I think it's Uston that had one method named after itself...going through those old villages ....all old kepper
