3. Davids Den ( number 10 Bingo )

[emeritus]

1 Chatsworth House

[Marsimbo]

Thanks Emeritus. I thought about David`s Den. It is not Chatsworth House, as Chatsworth is the answer to another clue. And is it known as Chatsworth and not Chatsworth House. But thanks anyway.

[emeritus]

Chatsworth House was built by John Vanburgh a Playwright at the time

What is the other clue for Chatsworth ?

[emeritus]

Sorry meant to add it is known as Chatsworth House not just Chatsworth.

[Marsimbo]

C. Debs lives in a dower house on the estate. I believe Lady Deborah, is now a dowager duchess and lives on the estate.

Just had a thought.

John Vanburgh also built Castle Howard ?

[Marsimbo]

Emeritus - I did wonder about Castle Howard, think I looked it up, but did not realise John Vanburgh was a playwright. Could be that, as the clue is first attempt at building. will have another look later.

[Marsimbo]

Just looked up John Vanburgh and think it is Castle Howard. Many thanks.

2. Blandings Castle ..... home of Lord Emsworth whose prize pig was the Empress of Blandings

[TheWinner]

Re. number 6. Sorry to throw a spanner in the works, but is the Crucible Theatre a home? I was going to suggest Carlton Towers as Carlton is a type of pottery. Am I on the wrong track?

[kettledrum]

5 tree snail ?

[TheWinner]

Could number 4 be Tree House?

[TheWinner]

Anyway, we are all celebrating, and all further answers will probably be rubbish.
Happy Christmas everyone - from TheWinner.

[syruphead]

crucible theatre must be right as clue says "Potters Mecca"

[Marsimbo]

I think Crucible Theatre is right, as some of the questions are not strictly "homes." There is a separate section on sports, and for instance .....
LTA - Wimbledon is its headquarters .... Lawn Tennis Association.
Thanks for tree snail, tree house and Empress of Blandings.

[Marsimbo]

Not sure about tree house .... better than standing in the rain .... as that section relates to TV plays, series, etc., like Downton Abbey.
