What Trust did the author of The Tale of Jemima Puddle-Duck leave her house to?
The Tale of Jemima Puddle-Duck The Tale of Jemima Puddle-Duck is a children's book written and illustrated by Beatrix Potter. It was first published by Frederick Warne & Co. in July 1908. Potter composed the book at Hill Top, a working farm in the Lake District she bought in 1905. Following the purchase, her works began to focus on country and village life, incorporating large casts of animal characters and sinister villains. "Jemima Puddle-Duck" was the first of her books set wholly at the farm with background illustrations based on the farm buildings and yard, and nearby locales.
Manor of Clifton The Manor of Clifton was a historic manor situated near the City of Nottingham, England. The manor house, known as Clifton Hall is situated on the right bank of the River Trent in the village of Clifton, Nottinghamshire, (grid reference [ SK54043483] ). about 3 1/2 miles south-west of the historic centre of the City of Nottingham, now partly the campus of Nottingham Trent University and partly a large council estate of modern housing. The Hall is a Grade I listed building, and is situated within the Clifton Village Conservation Area. Clifton Hall was remodelled in the late 18th century in a Georgian style. The manor was held by the "de Clifton" (later "Clifton") family from the late 13th century to the mid-20th century. In 2008 Clifton Hall rose to national prominence when it was reported in tabloid newspapers that its millionaire owner, Anwar Rashid, and his family had left the house and stopped paying the mortgage because they believed it was haunted. It was repossessed by the bank and is currently for sale at £2.75m.
