The Deer House, Auckland Castle, Bishop Auckland, County Durham
The Deer House, Auckland Castle, Bishop Auckland, County Durham
In 1752 Richard Trevor became the new Bishop of Durham. A perk of the post was two palaces: one in the city and a country seat at Auckland Castle, on the edge of the town of Bishop Auckland. In around 1760 he erected there this gorgeous gothic Deer House in the park at Auckland.

Maddy’s Great British One-Off
Maddy ran another one-off session, except in this one we are all orphaned children in 1800′s London. Accents were attempted with varying degrees of success, and everybody decided to be an urchin except for Conor, who was all fancy and educated. The adventure starts in an orphanage of sorts, and then we go through a wardrobe to fight the corrupted tooth fairy and the Bogeyman to save one of our fellow orphans, four year old Eric.
Players and characters are as follows:
Me - Sim, an androgynously grubby eleven year old who always wears a pith helmet and too many sweaters. Ranger, human on both sides of the wardrobe. 
Mark - Ruffers, small, about eight? Druid (druidic is hobocode in our reality btw). His animal companion is a mangy puppy named Blake. Ratfolk on the other side. Somehow completely unaware of death.
Evan - Phillip, aka Pip, aka Mirth. Party leader. 
Conor - Thomas Quincy Cumberland, aka Pickles. “A good little boy”. Wizard, took a long time to believe in magic while I yelled “I TOLD YOU SO!”
Jon - Brie. Always hungry. Sorcerer. Halfling on the other side.  
Jon #2 (guest-star) - Rob. Monk. Probably human.
Todd (guest-starring from the pirate campaigns!) - Brambles. Rogue? Probably also human.
