Venue History: Stoke Rochford has been the location for a series of noble houses. In the 1840 s when Christopher Turnor (1809-1886) decided to rebuild, the family fortune was considerable. Turnor succeeded his father in 1829 when he was only 20 years old. He eventually owned 20,664 acres in Lincolnshire, with a rental of some #27,000. In 1839 Christopher Turnor asked architect William Burn for sketch plans for Stoke Rochford Hall. A contract was drawn up on 24th April 1841 and the total cost of the house was about #60,000. After the war, the house became a training college for teachers, the Kesteven County Council taking over in 1948. The college closed at the end of September 1978, and the National Union of Teachers opened its National Education and Conference Centre on 1st October 1978.
Wedding Trivia:
TOAST
The term originates from the sixteenth century. At that time a small piece of bread would be placed in a goblet of wine. The goblet would be passed from guest to guest until it reached the person being honored who would drain the goblet and eat the morsel of bread in the bottom. This tradition is practiced at weddings today - usually in the form of one or more champagne "toasts". The best man has the honor of giving the first toast. Usually the bride and groom remain seated for the toasts while all the guests are usually standing to honor them. The couple may then make a few remarks thanking their families, wedding party members, and guests. They may also "toast" each other or share a "toast" together. Often special glass or silver goblets are used by the bride and groom.
