George Eliot's house

George Eliot's childhood home was Griff House and it remained her brother's house until he died.
It is now a hotel and bar restaurant, but the older part of the building remains surprisingly unchanged.
Some of the building is used in the description of the fictional Dorlcote Mill in The Mill on the Floss.
The attic space was George Eliot's favourite place to play and this is also described in the Mill on the Floss as Maggie's favourite retreat.
It was also where I had lunch today!
