Favour Royal Manor (1825) is a rather austere, Tudor-Gothic mansion with associated out-buildings, now abandoned.
The demesne dates from the 17th century Plantation of Ulster and is located in the south of the Clogher Valley, bordering County Monaghan, with the River Blackwater flowing through it. The house of 1670 was burnt in 1823 and the present house was built for John Corry Moutray by John Hargrave. The Moutray family continued to live there until the death of Mrs Anketell Moutray on New Year's Day, 1975. The house and what remained of the estate was sold in 1976. A major part of the estate was acquired by the Forest service.
In recent years there were plans to turn the demesne into a hotel/golf resort but as yet there has been no progress on this.
You could spend hours exploring the buildings and extensive grounds, which are well hidden from the busy main road.

The Waddesdon estate was completed around 1880 and home to Ferdinand De Rothschild. They were the wealthiest family in the world, and the house was built in the style of a French chateaux in the Loire valley. The house was handed over to the National Trust in 1950s but is still part owned by the Rothschild family.

Manor class 4-6-0 7820 Dinmore Manor passes under the road bridge, carrying the B4077 over the railway, to enter Toddington station with a service from Broadway.
This scene from the Gloucestershire Warwickshire Steam Railway was captured in 2018.
Lockdown protocols silenced the railway, which has recently announced plans to re-open on 15 August. This is good news for all heritage railway enthusiasts and supporters.
'Manor' class 7822 'Foxcote Manor' stands in the pouring rain at Aberystwyth, emitting steam from a number of places the designer never intended. This is typical of the run-down state of ex-GWR steam at the time, and both nameplates and smokebox number plates have disappeared. The Manors were noted for their performances on the 'Cambrian Coast Express' in the 60s, and although there is no headboard, I wonder if this could be that very train. Does the station clock give a clue?
In 1937 Geoffrey Mander MP did something remarkable - he persuaded the National Trust to accept a house that was just 50 years old.
The local paint manufacturer and Liberal MP had been left the timber-framed house by his father Theodore. Taking inspiration from a lecture on 'the House Beautiful' by Oscar Wilde, Theodore and his wife Flora had decorated its interiors with the designs of William Morris and his Arts and Crafts contemporaries.
This house of the Aesthetic Movement was, by 1937, a relic of an out of fashion era. Yet, so complete was the design that it was worthy of preservation. Having given the house to the Trust, Geoffrey and his second wife Rosalie became its live-in curators, opening the house to the public and adding to its contents. In particular they added a remarkable collection of Pre-Raphaelite paintings by Rossetti, Burne-Jones and their followers.

The manor of Trévarez in central Brittany is often referred to as “the Red Manor”, for obvious reasons. It is a neo-Gothic affair built from 1893 by a wealthy Breton politician with all and every creatures comforts known at the time: elevators, central heating, running hot and cold water everywhere, a refrigerator, etc.
The alliance of dark Kersanton granite and red brick gives off a weird feeling, and the truth is, I very much dislike the looks of this building, which gives me the shivers. The park is very nice, though.

More of the cruck barn, known as Minworth Greaves, which dates from the 14th century or even earlier. Originally built near Sutton Coldfield and in danger of complete collapse, it was bought by George Cadbury and rebuilt by his son Laurence in 1932 in the grounds of Selly Manor. In spite of being dismantled and rebuilt in a different location, it became a Grade II listed building in 1952. When it was moved, it was barely as much as an empty shell, and Laurence Cadbury spent years finding suitable furniture and fittings for the barn and Selly Manor itself, including this fine hatchment.
