]]>In 2004 a five Phase restoration programme was started for the "black and white" East Range of Adlington Hall.
This has included cleaning the timber and replacing where necessary many of the oak timbers and the wattle and daub infill.
The newly restored East Range is now back to its original state of unpainted timbers and limeplaster.

]]>Much Ado About Nothing.
For the first time on the 10th July 2010 Adlington Hall staged its first open air Shakespeare presentation.
An enthusiastic crowd enjoyed a witty performance from The Pantaloons. With the Hall's South Front as a backdrop and the temperature reaching 30 degrees, it was an almost perfect day. This event was the first of what is hoped to become an annual thing . Keeping it on a Saturday as a matinee performance with curtain call at the civilised hour of 2.00pm.
Caitlin Storey ,who originally approached Mrs Camilla Legh, who also performed several characters, was very pleased how it had all gone and even pencilled in next years date with Canterbury tales to be performed.

]]>Brace yourself Rodders’ the crystal chandelier crashes to the floor.
The classic scene from Only fools and horses, not the ideal thought to spring to mind when you are about to clean the Late Victorian gilt bronze chandelier in the Drawing room of Adlington Hall.
Each drop and string of crystals is carefully removed from the 24 candle arms. They are laid out on several tables cushioned with blankets. Over 100 strings and drops make up the chandelier. All the wires attaching the crystals together needed to be straightened and checked.
Using a small amount of very mild detergent, warm water and a soft artist brush the drops and strings are washed. Then in another tray of clean water with a clean brush they are rinsed, patted dry with kitchen towel and laid out to dry completely overnight. Now the job of returning the crystal begins in reverse starting at the top. Finally the last drop is attached and you can stand back, turn on the light switch and admire the glistening chandelier and breath a sigh of relieve until next time.

]]>With Spring now upon us after a very harsh winter, I am expecting the Gardens to have survived and even thrived after all that has happened
The format of the Garden Log will be changing, it will no longer be solely the Garden Log but will be the "Estate log " with different areas of the Adlington Hall Estate contributing articles relating to their relevant areas that they are associated with on the estate. This will give an insight into the day to day and weekly happenings around a Cheshire country estate. I of course will still contribute relevant logs attaining to the Gardens and all things flora.
