Cabbage Hall!

What a wonderful name this house has!
"Cabbage Hall",
the home of Peter and Juliet, a well known couple in the town.

I wonder how and when it got its name. Having visited Peter and Juliet a few times I have had the chance to see the layout of the house, which is quite interesting with its two staircases to the upper floor, and little rooms leading off each other. Peter and Juliet are both quite "bohemian" and I love the way the house decor has evolved! I expect that if the family were to sell the house a lot of work would need to be done on it, but it's not going to fall down in the near future and it is great the way it is!

Behind, and visible above the house is the Burgh Hall at the back of the Quadrangle at the Chambers Institution, and between them on the slope is a large vegetable garden, tended by Peter and Juliet.

P.S I was going to give you this picture in a few days time, but a discovery has made me want to share it earlier. Since I discovered that the father-in-law of an ancestor died at Tweedgreen Cottage I have been on a mission to find out where that was/is. To that end I wrote to the local paper and as a result of its publication today, I had a call from Peter to say "Look no further!" Cabbage Hall was once known as Tweedgreen Cottage, and at some other time was Briar Cottage, but Cabbage Hall was still the original name. I hope to see Peter tomorrow to look at the deeds he has of the house! How exciting to find that my family had a connection with this lovely old house!
