Description

In the bright September afternoon of 1651, the grand dining‑hall of Forest Lea House basks in sunlight filtering through a diamond‑set bay window. Dark oak wainscoting, antler‑adorned walls, and a silent fireplace set a richly historic scene, while a long table spread with trenchers and drinking‑horns
