Knowsley Hall :-
Knowsley Hall lies in 2,500 acres of private parkland just 7 miles from the centre of Liverpool and between the two main access routes into the historic city. The Hall has been home to the Earls of Derby since 1385, and houses an outstanding and historically important collection of fine art.
Wedding Trivia:
WEDDING AS A TERM
Although some brides were kidnapped, marriage by purchase was the preferred method of obtaining a wife. The "bride price" could be land, social status, political alliances, or cash. The Anglo-Saxon word "wed" meant that the groom would vow to marry the woman, but it also referred to the bride price (money or barter) to be paid by the groom to the bride's father. The root of the word "wedding" literally means to gamble or wager!
