I'm just re-re-re-re-reading this book, and once again the question
that srtikes me is this. Does anyone actually know where Merry Hall
was? I think I gathered some snippet once that lead me to believe it
might have been near Horsham, but I could be way off beam. Any clues
anybody? I'd love to know!

There is an official website - www.berverleynichols.com ( note the different
spelling of beverley ).

It lists Merry Hall, Laughter on the Stairs and Sunlight on the Lawn as
'forming the Merry Hall trilogy about Nichols's Georgian manor house in
Ashtead, Surrey'.
