Hello all Has anybody been watching the gripping "Criminal Justice" being aired on BBC this week? If so does anyone else think that the young actor playing...
Hello, if you read some past messages you should see a link of an estate agent with many photos of the estate that was for sale; I don't know if it has been...
Wow.. sounds cheeky but really cool. I wonder if it's still for sale then. Ha ha... perhaps we could all chip in and buy it! Thanks. Kathryn ... From:...
Even more of a coincidence: the first carol sung by the Christmas carolers was "In the deep midwinter", with words by none other than. . . Christina Rossetti! ...
Of course, you all will remember that there WAS chocolate in "Flambards". When Christina and Dorothy bicycle back to Elm Park for one last visit, Dorothy...
A question for all of you: Dorothy and Christina answer the telephone at reception, they always make a point of saying "The Chase Private Hotel". I've always...
Another thing that has always bothered me about "Flambards": Although what very little we see of street traffic is more or less faithfully depicted as driving...
Yes, the same thought occured to me with regard to the staircase. The courtyard looks very much unchanged, too, except for some moss between the cobblestones....
It was quite common for grand estates like Flambards to have a "folly" somewhere on their grounds. A folly is a building – usually but not always smallish...
Stefan, thank you for all the meticulously detailed information! This is wonderful. I am also a huge fan of "All Creatures,,," and appreciate your info...
It was extremely valuable to have the Sawley Hall brochure. I have viewed all the Flambards episodes again and have the following notes and comments with...
Thank you Stefan for more information and very well researched observations! I'm going to get my DVDs out this weekend with your printed email by my side and...
Re the position of the Folly. The folly is approx 1 mile east of Sawley Hall,at How Hill, and can be easily seen from a minor road that runs from Fountains...
Thak you so much, I knew that someone closer "on the ground" would be able to identify it more exactly. Now the next challenge would be to figure out where Mr....
Thanks for your comments. If the "new, improved" Sawley Hall is what is now in the British upper classes taste, that in itself is quite revealing. ... ...
We all know that the family name of Mark and William was Russell. However, their father is called "Uncle Russell", and after the funeral when Aunt Grace is...
K M Peyton says in the first Flambards book that Russell was known as Russell even to his sisters since he was so formidable, and so we are never told his...

One more note: When the Doctor visits, Fowler looks up from the courtyard and sees the Doctor in a window, which is presumably Christina's bedroom window....
William tells Christina that Uncle Russell has leased out all the farmland in order to raise money. Thus, once they got a little bit away from the house and...
One of my favorite quotes: Fowler to Mr. Dobson (the builder): "Have you ever been to Flambards before, Mr. Dobson?" "Why, no!" "Well then, you've got a treat...
This is a very late reply to a very old post, but by the time Christina returns to Flambards at least four or five years have passed. Sweetbriar was already an...
Horses can live well into their 30s, so it is feasible. In Flambards Divided, when Dick finds Sweetbriar and buys her back, she is in a very poor state. I...
It was common practice (and still is) for the British aristocracy/upper classes to refer to the man of the family by their surname only - if someone is called...
Hi to you all, I have been lurking since earlier this year. Might as well introduce myself! Like many, I first discovered Flambards when the televised drama...
I've owned Flambards divided for years but it's the one I don't read. I think Peyton made a mistake with this one. Certainly the social pressures on Dick and...
I agree with you, Sharon. The Dick Wright who is portrayed in the first three books would not be involved with another woman while he was married. He...
sorry, one more thought. Clearly K M Peyton had ten years to be undecided with the ending she had given her characters (and knows them better than any of us...
