Douglas of Birlstone Manor House was horribly murdered last night!”
About half a mile from the town, standing in an old park famous for its huge beech trees, is the ancient Manor House of Birlstone.
The Manor House, with its many gables and its small diamond-paned windows, was still much as the builder had left it in the early seventeenth century.
The latest tenants of the Manor House had, however, with characteristic energy, set this right, and the drawbridge was not only capable of being raised, but actually was raised every evening and lowered every morning.
