Period charm meets contemporary living at Grade II-listed Chorlton Mill, in Staffordshire, a historic property that s especially well suited to entertaining.
There’s absolutely no trouble at Chorlton Mill, near Newcastle-under-Lyme. Quite the opposite, in fact, as this five-bedroom former mill house, which is for sale at £1.35 million, is an eclectic family home set in six acres of prime Staffordshire countryside and listed Grade II.
Approached by a private gated driveway, the 4,210sq ft property, which dates from about 1850, boasts a resplendent mix of landscapes, with a gorgeous rolling lawn, pond and mix of mature shrubs and trees around the property, plus fields and paddock beyond. There’s also an open terrace that’s perfect for alfresco dining.
The Original King Lear
By Kathryn Walton
Most people today know the story of King Lear from Shakespeare’s tragic play. But the original story actually comes from the medieval period, and it actually has a very happy ending.
Shakespeare wrote his famous tale of the tragic King Lear sometime around 1605. Its complex characterizations, story, and poetics reflect all the brilliance of the early modern playwright. But Shakespeare was far from the first to recount the story of this tragic king. The story actually has roots in medieval folk culture and was first written down by the medieval historian Geoffrey of Monmouth in the 12th century. It also presents a rather different image of Lear and his youngest daughter.
