But a hundred year old house in the Lake District? It must be
considered to be recent construction, hardly "old."
we live in the valley that time forgot, between the Lake District, the Yorkshire Dales and The Forest of Bowland ( see picture linked from this page with Ingleborough in the background cf. ARs Autobiography IIRC) - our house is 104 years old - obviously quite young as I've lived in it for a quarter of its life...
Wonder how that custom began, and why it is different between
us...
