Manor Overview

idmiston1.jpg

Located upon a steep bank overlooking the Bourne River is this slowly being fortified manor. It has been the home of the Idmiston family for many generations, as evident by the old growth orchard planted to one side of the home, and the weathering of the buildings themselves.

Currently, a surrounding wall is being built from stones gathered from the river and fields to further protect the home from invaders.

Background

idmiston5.jpg

The manor's position upon the river Bourne has afforded it the perfect land for growing apples and pears. Orchards are found surrounding the home, the oldest of those trees found closest to the manor itself in a small grove.

From these fruits, a mix of things are made, from dried fruit, a preserves of sorts, to delicious desserts. But the thing that Idmiston is most known for is it's cider and wines made from the fruit.

This rough carving of the Greenman is set into the lintel of the main doors into the castle. Rumors say that it is blessed every year by a druid to bring the family within good luck throughout the year.
