Distant times.

The unfinished Elizabethan mansion "Lyveden New Bield" sits as it was left in 1605. It was built for Sir Thomas Tresham and work stopped upon his death, His son who inherited the estate was unable to carry on his fathers work as he was arrested for his part in the "Gunpowder Plot" on the House of Commons.

 

Fascinating history and a very photogenic location now owned by the National Trust.
