I feel like it's a hidden gem (though perhaps I'm just not familiar with the Richmond area). There's also a beautiful Victorian house with a zoo (?!) just down the street called Maymont; I've heard excellent things, and hope to visit sooner rather than later.<br /><br />I'd be curious to know the name of the Williamsburg books, as well! I'll have to check out Elswyth Thane -- thanks for the recommendation!<br /><br />Cheers,<br />Shannon~ Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08882650511821959701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1278139998273750963.post-73898018095264901372016-09-03T11:00:10.295-07:002016-09-03T11:00:10.295-07:00Shannon - this is a gift!

And a question for the previous poster - are the books you referenced by chance the Williamsburg novels by Elswyth Thane? Shannon, if you do not know these, you must read them.annoymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1278139998273750963.post-51675371095960243272016-08-16T11:51:00.445-07:002016-08-16T11:51:00.445-07:00The mere thought of taking a house -- or rather, a...The mere thought of taking a house -- or rather, a mansion! -- apart and then reassembling it is mind-boggling. If I think about it too much, my brains starts to object! ;-) And that is so funny about the character in your book series; it would certainly be a strange "coincidence" if Agecroft was the author's inspiration.<br /><br />Cheers,<br />Shannon~ Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08882650511821959701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1278139998273750963.post-78022917265372626602016-08-16T10:50:41.808-07:002016-08-16T10:50:41.808-07:00Wow!

It is truly a taste of England right in your home state! : )<br /><br />I am currently enjoying a series of books set in Williamsburg, VA and the surrounding area. Funny enough one of the characters had a home brought from England to VA. I now suspect Agecroft Hall was her inspiration!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14970258840708111494noreply@blogger.com
