on reflection

National Trust Property, Lyveden New Bield. Built by Sir Thomas Tresham between 1595 and 1605. He was a strict Catholic during the reign of Elizabeth I and his Lodge was covered in religious symbolism. He spent periods of his life in prison and under house arrest because he would not renounce his faith. In 1605 his son Francis was inplicated in the Gunpowder Plot and died a traitor in the Tower of London, because of this the lodge was never finished.
