Decided to visit Normanby Hall near Scunthorpe today. It has been on our list of places to visit for well over a year. The Hall was built in 1825 for the Sheffield family and is still owned by them, but leased to North Lincolnshire Council (The Prime Minister's wife Samantha who was a 'Sheffield' grew up on the Normanby Estate). The house is open to the public and the extensive grounds include a deer park, farming museum and a beautiful restored walled garden. On visiting the walled garden potting shed, I liked the pattern made by these old plant pots, stacked in rows.
