Did someone famous once live here?

Although obviously wealthy, the person who built the place certainly was not world famous.

I get that fame is a relative term. Is it a recognizable name and did they live here, rather than just build it?

It was never intended to be a private residence, so if the the builder in the 1700's lived there, it doesn't state that on their website. No, I wouldn't say he had a recognizable name.

 

[Kayelle]

The place is not named after the builder.

Is it a hotel, of sorts?

 

[Andy M.]

Is it a school or abbey?

yes

 

[Kayelle]

The location and name of the place are the same.

 

[qmax]

Is it near Plymouth?

 

[LPBeier]

Yes, it is! I believe it is Elfordleigh Manor in Plymouth!

 

[Kayelle]

Nope, neither one of you are correct.

Not in England.

Are you guys getting bored with this? Want some more hints?

 

[qmax]

Not bored, but I have a real job, so I give a minute here and there to this during the week.

This pic has me stumped, though.

 

[Andy M.]

yes, please

 

[Kayelle]

OK Andy. Ask me anything (within reason) you'd like.

Is it in Australia?

 

[Kayelle]

No, not Australia. To recap what was said before, it's in the UK although not England.

 

[LPBeier]

Is it in Ireland?

(I'm "working" too, just checking once in awhile)
