Notable Moment
Eleanor used to enjoy visiting The Wilson House which was The Stables, beside The Main House. One night she arrived back to Mourne Park late at night. Rather than disturb her father, she asked Sammy Wilson to find a way to get her into the Main House. Sammy used a butter knife to slip the catch open on a scullery window which Eleanor was then able to climb through.
Nicholas is our Dad
