 Bretby Hall - John Claudius Loudon
Bretby Hall, the Seat of the Earl of Chesterfield, is situated in a beautifully undulated country, and the mansion, which is in the castellated style, by Wyatt, has fine views on two sides.
The building is not finished; and the gardens round it are not laid out, as they doubtless ultimately will be, in a style at all suitable to the house and the place.
All that can be said in favour of Bretby Hall is, that the situation has very great natural advantages, and that there is abundance of scattered trees and plantations.

His creativity was undimmed and found an outlet in the establishment, a year later of the Bretby art pottery, with William Ault, in Woodville, Derbyshire.

After several changes of ownership and styles, the pottery was finally closed in the late 1990's and has suffered several break-ins to the museum and also a major fire.

 94th Reunion at Bretby Conference Centre
It was good to welcome Trevor Fielder and his wife Heather, although I would not have recognized him, and I did accuse him of being an allied tradesman.
Well it is probably best not to, but it did invoke a rash of impromptu comics and a display of definitely poor vocal skills from a well wine soaked but happy group of revelers who finally retired somewhere between 1.30 am and 2.00 am on Sunday morning.
It seems to me that you just cannot go through three years of Halton without at least something rubbing off, and it was great to see newcomers to the Reunion, Sherry Sheridan, and Peter Faulkner with Marilyn.
