Baddesley Clinton was the home of the Ferrers family for 500 years.
Much of the house you see today was built by Henry Ferrers, a lawyer, diarist and antiquarian, in the late 1500s.
The house was a sanctuary not only for the Ferrers family, but also for persecuted Catholics who were hidden from priest hunters in its secret hiding places during the 1590s.

CPKC's K60 local is normally an overnight flip from Clinton to Nahant, but the floods have thrown all schedules out of the window. A trio of rebuild GP's bring a sizeable train through the flooded Mississippi River in downtown Davenport, IA.

SB BNSF Clinton local is using trackage rights on Canadian Pacific's Davenport Sub, as it approaches Le Claire, IA. I still love the original BNSF paint scheme. Even if its a little faded.

Photographed from the bridge downtown...though I forgot the name of the river....think it's the Indian River. I seem to like these lonely little structures along the waterways around where I live. They seem like all that's left of another era simpler and less troubled times.
Ran this through Topaz Impression to smooth things out a bit, then converted to B&W.

Baddesley Clinton is a moated manor house, about 8 miles north-west of the town of Warwick, in the village of Baddesley Clinton, Warwickshire, England. The house probably originated in the 13th century, when large areas of the Forest of Arden were cleared for farmland.
In 1438 John Brome, Under-Treasurer of England, purchased the manor, which passed to his son, Nicholas Brome (d.1517), who rebuilt the nearby parish church dedicated to St Michael, as a penance for having murdered the parish priest, a crime reputed to have been committed inside the house. The house from this period was equipped with gun-ports, and possibly a drawbridge over the moat.
When Nicholas Brome died in 1517, the house passed to his daughter, who in 1500 had married Sir Edward Ferrers, Sheriff of Warwickshire.
The Ferrers appear to have remained Roman Catholic recusants after the Reformation, along with many other members of the Warwickshire gentry. They sheltered Catholic priests, who were under threat of a death sentence if discovered, and made special arrangements to hide and protect them. Several priest holes were built, secret passages to hide people in the event of a search by the authorities. One such priest hole is off the Moat Room, and is simply a small room with a door hidden in the wood panelling. A second, leading into the ceiling, is reputed to hold six people. A third is hidden in an old privy. Fugitives were able to slide down a rope from the first floor through the old garderobe shaft into the house's sewers, which run the length of the building, which could probably hold a dozen people. These priest holes are said to have been built by Saint Nicholas Owen, a lay-brother of the Jesuits who constructed many masterful hides, notably at nearby Harvington Hall. He was eventually caught and tortured to death by the Protestant English government.
The priest holes came into use at least once, in 1591 when a conference of Jesuit priests was raided by local authorities. They proved effective as no-one was caught.

Almost perfect camouflage of a majestic blue heron on top of falls, in Clinton in Hunterdon County New Jersey where the Mulhockaway Creek converges with the South Branch of the Raritan River right by the Red Mill Museum, one of the most photographed locations in New Jersey. It was the mill I was photographing accompanied by my west coast damsel when I spotted the beautiful blue heron and put my longest lens on my OM-D EM-1 with a 2X convertor to capture this image. As opposed to the great white heron with is abundant in New Jersey as well, the blues and grays of the blue heron make it blend into its surroundings. #developportdev @gothamtomato @developphotonewsletter @omsystem.cameras #excellent_america#omsystem @bheventspace @bhphoto @adorama @tamracphoto @tiffencompany #usaprimeshot #tamractales @kehcamera @mpbcom @newjerseyisntboring @newjerseyisbeautiful #omd #olympus #microfourthirds #micro43 #micro43photography @visitclintonnj
As today was so wonderfully warm and sunny we drove over to Baddesley Clinton and then walked to Packwood House. The return route took us past Kingswood Junction on the canal and the flight of locks for extra interest
One of New Jersey’s most picturesque and photographed locations is located in western New Jersey alongside the Raritan River in the town of Clinton is a grist mill referred to as the ‘Red Mill’. When Ralph Hunt built this mill in 1810 on land he received in inheritance from his father Daniel Hunt its original purpose was that of a wool processing plant. Unfortunately, foreign cloth was relatively low cost so eventually even though some of the surrounding farmers would get their wool manufactured, Hunt’s business dried up and the mill came to a grinding halt. It was around 1828 to 1834 that John Bray and John B. Taylor (the Taylor family had taken ownership of the property began production wool in the mill again. The new owner John W. Snyder stopped the wool processing altogether and converted the mill in to a grist mill. Before all production stopped, it was a graphite mill and finally a talc mill when all activity stopped. Today it is a museum and is on the National Register of Historic Places. Captured this image while with my west coast damsel, returning from a wonderous weekend in Lehigh Valley Pennsylvania. I particularly like the distorted reflection of the mill in water just before it cascades on the dam. #developportdev @gothamtomato @developphotonewsletter @omsystem.cameras #excellent_america #omsystem @bheventspace @bhphoto @adorama @tamracphoto @tiffencompany #usaprimeshot #tamractales @kehcamera @mpbcom @visitclintonnj @newjerseyisntboring @newjerseyisbeautiful #newjerseyisntboring #newjerseyisbeautiful @visit_nj #omd #olympus #microfourthirds #micro43 #micro43photography

The church is a short stroll from Baddesley Clinton a moated manor house. Records show a church on this site in 1305 and the nave dates to that time, but there may have been a church there two, or even three, centuries earlier. Originally dedicated to St James, the dedication was subsequently changed to St Michael, possibly following the 19th century restoration.

A late Pan Am Railways Q427 is seen trundling west down the Pan Am Worcester Mainline at Clinton West. Unfortunately the crew was unable to spin the power in Ayer last night so they had to run long hood forward to Worcester where CSX has a westward facing locomotive staged to lead the rest of the way to Selkirk. The Worcester Main is going to be seeing many positive changes in the near future if the Pan Am sale is approved. Traffic will increase, likely bringing up track speeds and much needed brush cutting. There will also be undercutting in several locations to accommodate future double stacked intermodal traffic.
