@a.curious.way: Just call me Mary Lennox! Fanhams Hall is a beautiful historic hotel near Ware in Hertfordshire. The building dates back to the early 18th century and was greatly enlarged between 1898 and 1901, giving it its impressive Jacobean appearance. It is a Grade II* listed building and is surrounded by 27 acres of gardens, including a special Japanese garden. Today, Fanhams Hall has 77 bedrooms and suites and is used for weddings, conferences, celebrations and other events
