Nocton Hall, Lincoln - The Seat of Mr. J. Hodgson
"Those who know the charm of great over-arching skies and far-distant prospects melting at sunset into the gold and purple west, will not under-value such a characteristic land, even though when the night falls, and they draw their casement curtains, they glance, like Mariana, only 'athwart the glooming flats'." Such describes the fen-land of Lincolnshire.
During my research, I have discovered a number of images of Nocton Hall that seem to have illustrated an old Country Life magazine. I have since managed to locate the article concerned, which was originally published on 28 September 1901. It was tracked down to the archives of IPC Media Ltd. Copyright permission has kindly been granted by the Picture Library Manager, in order for me to reproduce the article for you to read. I do hope you find it of interest.
