Packwood House is a timber-framed Tudor manor house near Lapworth, Warwickshire. Owned by the National Trust since 1941, the house is a Grade I listed building. It has a wealth of tapestries and fine furniture, and is known for the garden of ancient yews.
History
The house began as a modest timber-framed farmhouse constructed for John Fetherston between 1556 and 1560. The last member of the Fetherston family died in 1876.[3] In 1904, and the house was purchased by Birmingham industrialist Alfred Ash.[4] It was inherited by Graham Baron Ash (Baron in this case being a name not a title) in 1925,[3] who spent the following two decades creating a house of Tudor character. He purchased an extensive collection of 16th- and 17th-century furniture, some obtained from nearby Baddesley Clinton. The great barn of the farm was converted into a Tudor-style hall with sprung floor for dancing, and was connected to the main house by the addition of a Long Gallery in 1931.[5]
In 1941, Ash donated the house and gardens to the National Trust in memory of his parents but continued to live in the house until 1947 when he moved to Wingfield Castle.[6]
Gardens
The famous Yew Garden containing over 100 trees was laid out in the mid-17th century by John Fetherston, the lawyer. The clipped yews are supposed to represent "The Sermon on the Mount". Twelve great yews are known as the "Apostles" and the four big specimens in the middle are 'The Evangelists'. A tight spiral path lined with box hedges climbs a hummock named "The Mount". The single yew that crowns the summit is known as "The Master". The smaller yew trees are called "The Multitude" and were planted in the 19th century to replace an orchard.
The Yew Garden is entered by raised steps and a wrought-iron gate. The garden path follows an avenue of trees, which leads up a spiral hill[1] where a wooden seat is placed beneath a yew tree. This vantage point provides views of the house and the Yew Garden.[5]
Some of the yews at Packwood are taller than 50 feet (15 m).[7] The soil on the estate has a high level of clay, which is detrimental to the trees during wet periods. As a result, parts of the garden are often closed to the public while restoration work is undertaken[7] The house and gardens are open to the public throughout the whole year as of 2013.
I was drinking coffee with Abby yesterday and the postman arrived. Elsie clambered on to the large basket by the window whilst Abby dealt with the post. Then, Abby encouraged Elsie to jump into her arms. Usually Elsie is picked up and swirled round, but this jump required Elsie to trust her mother to catch her before being whirled through the air. By the time I had my camera ready they were on jump 2 or 3 . . . there were about 8 in all. This little series is of the moments in between the jumps

Since we fought I been
Healing from the things that happen
And when I'm with you I lie that I'm alright
I never said if I even...
Trust
Sadly enough I can't believe you
Sometimes I do
But when I ask you if your okay
You just say "nothing's wrong"
Why do I feel like something is wrong
Can't you even trust me again?
Trust
Even if you do
I don't
Since the fight I just lost it
Trust
Is the main thing I want
No love, No nothing
Just...
Trust
I need to hear it from you and honesty
Everything else can wait
Trust
I want to hear it please
Tell me the truth...
(poem I made)
West Northumberland. This gentle river caused havoc during the Winter storms and the National Trust have subsequently closed it for public access (or so they thought!)
