Groombridge Place, Kent: 27 March 2005

A 17th century moated house in Kent, set in 200 acres of wooded parkland and with a series of magnificent formal and walled gardens. One of my favourite films - Peter Greenaway's "The Draughtsman's Contract" was filmed here in 1982 (See http://petergreenaway.co.uk/draughtsman.htm).

WOW and double WOW. It is a beautiful home and grounds. I would love to visit this home of my ancestors. I am a direct descendent of Logan Daniel Waller (son of Isabelle Umstead). Researching my families history is wonderful. Thanks to all who keep the Waller history alive and well.

I have a very lovely print of an English home entitled "Groombridge" by an artist whose first name is illegible but whose last name is Caldwell, is there a connection? I would love to see more of this artist's work.
Thank you.
