As you know from my previous post we have been to a wedding at Allerton Castle. Here is what wikipedia has to say about the house: WIKIPEDIA
Everybody with kids will appreciate this post:
Apparently in the 18th century the then owner of the castle built a folly on a man made mound in his “garden”. That mound is the hill in the nursery rhyme of the Grand Old Duke of York!
Oh, The grand old Duke of York,
He had ten thousand men;
He marched them up to the top of the hill,
And he marched them down again.
And when they were up, they were up,
And when they were down, they were down,
And when they were only half-way up,
They were neither up nor down.
