Petworth, West Sussex.
Petworth House (owned and managed by the National Trust) is a late 17th century Grade I listed country house, having been rebuilt in 1688 by Charles Seymour, 6th Duke of Somerset, and altered in the 1870s to the design of the architect Anthony Salvin. It is famous for the extensive art collection of George Wyndham, 3rd Earl of Egremont (1751-1837), and contains many works by his friend, J.M.W Turner.
Grade I listed on the Register of Historic Parks and Gardens, Petworth Park is owned and managed by the National Trust, and the wall around the 700 acre deer park is 14 miles long. The grounds are managed sustainably for wildlife and are protected under a Higher Level Stewardship agreement with Natural England. Petworth Park and Pleasure Grounds were transformed by Lancelot ‘Capability’ Brown throughout the 1750s, the formal gardens being replaced with the graceful curves and wide sweeping vistas of a perfect ‘natural’ looking landscape. The Park and Pleasure Grounds were one of Capability Brown’s earliest large-scale commissions and considered by many to be his masterpiece, taking 12 years and no less than five contracts to complete.
Arnside Knott is a hill with a summit elevation of 159 metres (522 ft), near Arnside, Cumbria, England. Although it is in South Lakeland district it is not in the Lake District National Park, lying south of the River Kent which forms the south eastern boundary of the national park. It is within the Arnside and Silverdale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty AONB, is a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and is National Trust property.
Arnside Knott is the lowest Marilyn ( a hill with at least 150 m of topographic prominence) in England.
The drop for Arnside Knott was calculated in 2010 to be 159.10 – 8.32 = 150.78m which is greater than 150m and therefore confirms Arnside Knott’s Marilyn status.
The narrow margin confirms this is the lowest Marilyn in England.
Marilyns are defined as peaks with a prominence of 150metres (492ft) or more
As of April 2020 there were 2,011 Marilyns
The name Marilyn was coined punning the list of Scottish mountains above 3000ft (914.4m) as Munros

I was very lucky with the weather. I visited four National Trust properties today. Some smaller details to follow ...
Trust in the Lord with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;
in all your ways acknowledge him, and
he will make your paths straight.
Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the
Lord and shun evil. This will bring health
to your body and nourishment to your bones.
Proverbs 3:5-8
Please view on black, so much better.
I loved the expression of this wonderful horse in this, he is so into what he is doing.
Its a bit of a snapshot this one from Howden Show a couple of weeks ago. The horse & girl entertained us with some dancing & acrobatics.
The trust they had in each other was amazing
Mixed media spread in my new art journal. My Word for 2013: Trust. It found me, and I loved it and lived it.
On the edge of the National Trust's Malham Tarn Estate, Janet's Foss is of particular conservation importance.
Foss is the old Scandinavian word for a waterfall or force. According to legend, Janet (or Jennet) queen of the local fairies, lives in a cave behind the waterfall. The cave was formed by limestone bedrock being dissolved and eroded by the action of water and then re-deposited on mosses growing at the lip of the fall. This has caused the remarkable but fragile tufa screen, which reaches to the plunge pool below.
Many years ago, the pool below the waterfall was used as a sheepwash. Sheep were driven into the water and washed before shearing in late June.
The latest addition to the miscellany. This is common sight this time of year. Chickadees are fascinating little creatures with complex behaviour and amazing adaptations. I will never get tired of being able to lure them in this close. To learn more, check out my latest blog entry: wp.me/p10non-6N
Shugborough Hall
The hall is located on the edge of Cannock Chase, about 5.8 miles east of Stafford, and 4.7 miles from Rugeley.
The estate was owned by the Bishops of Lichfield until the dissolution of the monasteries, upon which it passed through several hands before being purchased in 1624 by William Anson, a local lawyer and ancestor of the Earls of Lichfield.
The estate remained in the Anson family for three centuries.
Following the death of the 4th Earl of Lichfield in 1960, an agreement was reached whereby the estate would pass to the National Trust in lieu of death duties.
When the transfer of ownership was finalised the estate was immediately leased to Staffordshire County Council, who managed and maintained it on behalf of the National Trust, with the 5th Earl of Lichfield (a cousin of Queen Elizabeth II, and a society photographer, Patrick, Lord Lichfield), retaining an apartment and paying a nominal rent until his death in 2005.
Patrick Lichfield’s successor, the 6th Earl of Lichfield, decided to relinquish the lease of the apartments, thus severing the family's direct links with the estate.
In 2016 Staffordshire County Council handed the estate back to the National Trust.
The grounds and mansion house are open to the public.
The private apartments of the Earl’s of Lichfield house an exhibition of the work of Patrick Lichfield. His cameras and lighting gear have been set up in a recreation of his studio, and there is a gallery of some of his most famous photographic subjects.
Sadly, no photography was allowed in the Lichfield private apartments and I respected the Trust’s rules and refrained from taking any pics.
Grade I Listed.

The Drawing Room
This room was originally designed as a drawing room by Thomas Anson.
Completed in 1748 it has been attributed to Thomas Wright of Durham and is part of a number of additions that Thomas Anson made to the House.
This room was designed to be seen by all of Anson's guests. The wall paintings depict classical landscapes, some of which Anson would have seen on his Grand Tour whilst the ceiling depicts characters from classical Greek and Egyptian mythology.
In 1794 it became a dining room and two of the Capriccio paintings were extended to cover the blocked doorways that once led to a bedchamber and dressing room.
Capricci Paintings
A capriccio is an architectural landscape fantasy painting, placed together archaeological ruins and oner elements in fictional and fantastical combinations.
Seven of the large paintings around this room are
thought to have been painted by Pietro Paltronieri (1673-1741) an Italian painter from Bologna.
They are thought to be the only such paintings by this artist in England.
The eighth painting Is attributed to Antonio Jo (700-777) and is likely to have been painted after the death of Paltronier to complete the set.
Commissioned by Thomas Anson to adorn the walls of his Drawing Room, they can be seen as a precursor to the large monuments he commissioned outside in his designed landscape.
They can also be viewed as a reminder to Anson of his travels during his Grand Tour.
Unfortunately, little correspondence of Anson's exists from before 1750, however, extensive research undertaken during conservation work in 2019 revealed these tantalising details and raised
further questions on Anson's travels
[...] Denn was wir sind, hat noch niemand verstanden
Und was du fühlst, passt in keinen Gedanken
Und wer du bist, wirst du niemals ergründen,
wenn du nur tust, was sich andere wünschen.

I have so many photos that I am just dumping into the New Rescue Family set, but I'll pull a few last photos for the front of the stream this morning.

I drive by this little church frequently in the valley that I live in and am reminded of my faith in Jesus by these crosses.
