Todeni, in1085, used the grant to build a castle atop a hill and called it Belvoir –“beautiful view.”
The English, who couldn’t latch onto the building’s Frenchpronunciation, called it Beaver Castle and do so to this day – a truth thatwould surely horrify Todeni.", the stately home of the Duke and Duchess of Rutland, which houses one of England’s finest private art collections. ,Day 4-London to York Spend the next two nights in York, England

LMS 46115 Scots Guardsman on the Doomed Lune Rivers Trust at Giggleswick Sat 08/09/12
LMS Royal Scot Class 46115 Scots Guardsman Pulls The Lune Rivers Trust Special Towards Giggleswick in the early hours after returning for the first time since the 05/08/12 ''Waverley'' Train where it failed at Carlisle but the train was doomed to fail once again for the second time in a month, this time at Helifield Station despite it passing a test run earlier in the week.
I was set up at Skipton Station to see it pass through after spotting it at Helifield when it should have passed through a while before, I was quite suprised and I had a good reason to be as I would later learn that It would not be coming through, lot of dissapointed faces to see the locomotive fail once again, hope it's running again soon.
