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.

L585 departs Clinton for Gilman on a hazy August morning. The Clinton local has not had a deathstar leader for quite some time. Hopefully this changes sometime soon.
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.

Montana Rail Link ML cruises through Clinton, Montana, on September 2, 2003 with F45 No. 391 leading the way.
The first rays of golden light striking frosty hills near the small town of Clinton. Clinton is under the forested hill top left. That road lower left goes to the town of Gore (behind us) and is known by locals as "The Presidential Highway". Clinton (population 280) was named for Henry Pelham-Clinton, 5th Duke of Newcastle, former British Secretary of State for the Colonies 1852 – 1854.
A sunny Monday morning here and thanks for visiting.

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.
CSX 6245 (ex-B&O GP40-2) and 6230 lead train B724 past the former Clinton station, which opened in 1914. The train is running on former New Haven rails, and will cross over the ex-B&M, now Pan Am, on the bridge in the foreground.
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.

Baddesley Clinton is a moated house with beautiful gardens in gorgeous Warwickshire Country Side. Owned by the National Trust it is fun this year seeing the gardens literally spring into action.
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
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.

The Milford Track is widely regarded as one of the greatest hiking trails in the world. And I can't dispute that - it was epic! The weather can be appalling, but as landscape photographers can attest, terrible weather can make for dynamic light and wonderful images. This image of Clinton Valley, dappled with rain showers and waterfalls, was captured in ferocious winds and driving rain atop MacKinnon Pass near the beginning of what was to be one of the wettest in my life, in which "trail" was turned into gushing creek.
I was hoping for sun since the curve just east of here is spectacular and perfectly lit, but alas I had no luck. So in an attempt to make something of the situation I decided on this angle that I'd never actually done that only works on a cloudy day.
CSXT local B724 from Framingham is making its tri-weekly journey out to the end of the line on what is CSXT's last true branchline in all of New England that they still own outright.
They are crossing over Pan Am's Worcester mainline and passing the dual level former Union Station that was built in 1918.The structure was designed by architect Robert C. Reamer better known for his work in the Western US including the grand wooden Old Faithful Inn. Serving trains of the New Haven on the upper level and the Boston and Maine on the lower, it saw its last B&M commuter train leave for Boston in 1958, with the last New Haven train having called decades earlier. Today the one time three tracks overhead have been reduced to one on what is now CSXT's Fitchburg Branch at about MP QBU13.4. To see what this same train looks like from the lower level a few years prior check out this shot: flic.kr/p/2kQgNdV

CSX B724-02 (right) is seen running around CSX B724-01 (outlawed to the left) on the Clinton runaround this afternoon. As far as I know, this is the first time in at least a decade where 2 seperate trains have occupied the Clinton runaround, making this a unique photo.
UP 6939 leads UP MCLCL (now abolished/replaced by MPRMT) as it heads westbound on the east side of Clarence, IA. I've got to say, it was nice to see a freshly rebuilt AC60. Those who know me know I'm not the biggest advocate for the new look UP's got going on, but I digress, it did look nice from the side. Thanks to my loyal chauffeur for slowing down momentarily to let me snag this shot while paralleling the tracks on U.S. Highway 30. Taken on the UP Clinton Subdivision on 8/11/23.
There's a touch of fall color in the trees as MAWA rolls downgrade into Clinton behind the usual set of power for this job, a trio of GP40 variants. So far, none of Pan Am's GEs have come east of Waterville, leaving the Keag jobs and the Rumford jobs as the last major trains that are still running with just EMDs. The 319 is leading a blue dipped GP40-2LW, the 517, and another Guilford GP40, the 316, with about forty-five cars.
UP ET44AC 2641 leads a intermodal over the bridge into Clinton, IA. The signals here were recently replaced.
Baddesley Clinton is a remarkable survival of a medieval moated manor house and was home of the Ferrers family for 500 years. At one time an artists' retreat, at another a haven for the persecuted, the house nevertheless passed from father to son for 12 generations before finally being sold in 1940. (National Trust)
