History Note
Long before our time that is the site where the Winnington estate had their hunt kennels.
But as you rightly say, to us it will always be associated with Marg.

Is there any support for renaming the post, if not the corner, in Marg's honour/memory?

A thoughtful idea but history has had it known as Kennel for 103 years and on the other side of the coin would she have wanted it changed?
With respect I say perhaps not. We will always associate her with that part of the hill though.

You're right, of course. I agree, I don't think Marg would have wanted it changed.

I have been told that there will be a plaque (sp?) on the hut in memory of Marg.

Ah, that's good. I wonder if they can inscribe the plaque with a cake?
