with picturesque views of the river trent and east midlands countryside through lattice windows, the history of the priest house in castle donington can be traced back around 1000 years. the site that was once valued at "ten shillings and a penny" is now a popular destination for weddings, dining, a luxury hotel break and of course... afternoon tea and elevenses. last weekend, mum and i went to sample the savoury delights and as much tea that could be had at by 11.30am.
