Flashbacks to 1997: The Bristol High Cross
The Bristol High Cross dates from the early 15th century and was moved the city of Bristol to Stourhead in 1765.
My contract position became a permanent position in March 1997, and by chance my good friend Dan asked if I'd like to be his travel companion to England in July 1997. YES! Dan is English-born but his family came to Canada when he was little. He still has and maintains close family ties in Britain and Ireland.
When Dan asked me before the trip what places I wanted to see, Stourhead House & Gardens was top on the list.
Stourhead House & Gardens, Stourton, Warminster, Wiltshire BA12
Stourhead House was completed in 1725 after four years of construction. The estate and manor house was commissioned by Henry Hoare, son of wealthy banker Sir Richard Hoare. The house was designed by Colen Campbell and built by Nathaniel Ireson in the Palladian style, a popular style in the 1700s that was inspired by the designs of the Venetian architect Andrea Palladio. The massive landscape garden is a 1,072-hectare (2,650-acre) estate.

I'm expediting the uploading of the vintage 1997 London & West Country trip as I want to return to the normal posting of more recent images. Also, as my work place is finally banning access to flickr due to it being a personal digital storage site, please forgive me that I won't be able to respond to all your comments and not right away from now on.
