Basildon Park tour

Yesterday we attended a senior YSA couples training session with President Millar and his counselor Pres. Judd.  It was held in the Staines building, just outside of London. President Judd provided lunch catered by his friend who owns a Thai Restaurant.  The food was fabulous, and the meeting was very informative and helpful.  When we finished the meeting, we decided to tour the National Trust manor house of Basildon Park, since it was nearby. Downton Abbey's Christmas special 2013 was filmed here. It was supposed to be Lord Grantham's London home, and is quite close to Highclere Castle.

The Downton Abbey cast photo above was taken here.   Photos are posted in each room to show the various scenes shot in each location.

Now, if and when we finally see the Christmas Special, we will know the stories behind the scenes.
