Sheer Trust
I could see through you
your praises, your faults
your love for me your cause
entrusting you with my heart
I should surrender, now ever more...
Belton House a Grade I listed country house in Belton near Grantham, Lincolnshire.
The mansion is surrounded by formal gardens and a series of avenues leading to follies within a larger wooded park. Belton has been described as a compilation of all that is finest of Carolean architecture, the only truly vernacular style of architecture that England had produced since the Tudor period.
The house has also been described as the most complete example of a typical English country house; the claim has even been made that Belton's principal facade was the inspiration for the modern British motorway signs which give directions to stately homes.
For three hundred years, Belton House was the seat of the Brownlow and Cust family, who had first acquired land in the area in the late 16th century. Between 1685 and 1688 Sir John Brownlow and his wife had the present mansion built. Despite great wealth they chose to build a modest country house rather than a grand contemporary Baroque palace.
The contemporary, if provincial, Carolean style was the selected choice of design. However, the new house was fitted with the latest innovations such as sash windows for the principal rooms, and more importantly separate areas for the staff. As the Brownlows rose from baronets to barons upward to earls, successive generations made changes to the interior of the house which reflected their changing social position and tastes.
Following World War I (a period when the Machine Gun Corps was based in the park), the Brownlows, like many of their peers, were faced with mounting financial problems. In 1984 they gave the house away complete with most of its contents. The recipients of their gift, the National Trust, today fully open Belton to the public.

A quick peek at a series I have started shooting for a National Trust project.
These images were taken on a trip home to Devon, where I managed to rally together some wonderful volunteers to model for me! A huge thank you to everyone involved, and apologies for muddied feet and rain frizzed hair!

We had stayed the night in Buckingham and the evening would find us at Arundel. National Trust Stowe Gardens was mid way (ish) - sadly no flower gardens, but lots of parklands. Stowe House is not National Trust but is separate...
For the pedants the Octagon Lake most definitely did not look Octagonal, so I have no idea why it is called that, perhaps Uncle Google will help....
Maybe it used to be an Octagonal Pond? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stowe_House
"In March 1741, Capability Brown was appointed head gardener. He worked with Gibbs until 1749 and with Kent until the latter's death in 1748. Brown departed in the autumn of 1751 to start his independent career as a garden designer. In these years, Bridgeman's octagonal pond and 11-acre (4.5 ha) lake were extended and given a "naturalistic" shape..."
