Autumn at Pockerley Manor, Beamish Open Air Museum

The lovely autumn garden of Pockerley Manor at Beamish Open Air Museum. The farm was here long before the museum opened. It is part-medieval stone house and replaced an earlier fortified manor house of Norman origin that stood here. Pockerley has an intriguing Old English name that derives from the Anglo-Saxon ‘Pocca’, its name means ‘clearing of the hobgoblin’.
