Brodsworth Hall at War!

Bend The Light

Brodsworth Hall is a stately home and gardens near where we live (Barnsley) and this week have a lot of activities based on when the war came to Brodsworth. Basically the Home Guard, and many others came and camped in the grounds, on the lawns and in the fields surrounding.
So this weekend they have had re-enactment groups and various exhibits to show what it might have been ,ike.

Here are a few photos, mostly edited in mono, as colour didn't seem right.
