The Pool

In answer to several queries, we introduce the pool today. This is Little Pudding Pool, formerly the village of Little Pudding, from whence the manor derives its name. The villagers built it on top of chalk workings which collapsed, drowning them all. They still say hideous cries can be heard echoing from the pool on dark nights.

And they're right. Lady Arcos lures people to their doom on such nights. The fish are particularly large and well-fed. Unfortunately the attempt to introduce pirahnas was not a success. Still, the aligators did take, thus the 'No Swimming' sign could be taken down at last.

Wonderful! You should visit some time, then I can have you appointed honourary warden of the cess-pools.
