Basildon Park
Sitting elegantly in 162 hectares (400 acres) of historic parkland and gardens, this 18th-century house was purchased by Lord and Lady Iliffe in the 1950s, when it was de-requisitioned after the Second World War. With extraordinary vision, the Iliffes brought Basildon Park back to life, acquiring a collection of fine furnishings and carefully selected Old Masters.

The Trinity Trust Foundation supports the City of Dallas by raising private funds for amenities for the Trinity River Corridor Project. Donations from the private sector add features such as the Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge and Margaret McDermott Bridge, Continental Avenue Bridge, Trinity Lakes, Trinity Forest Spine Trail, and more. A few weeks ago, 60 Rat Pack and River Rats members headed out to the Texas Horse Park for The Trinity Trust’s Texas-style “Round Up” fundraiser.
The Rat Pack offers unique opportunities to experience and participate in the creation of the future city along the banks of the Trinity River. Celebrate The Trinity project with social gatherings, events, and lectures at The Trinity Center featuring master designers, urban planners, and civic leaders. Members may also participate in canoe trips and guided hikes through the Great Trinity Forest. The River Rats is comprised of active enthusiasts dedicated to supporting The Trinity project. With a focus on education and increasing public awareness about the project, the goal is to build support for The Trinity project among Dallas’ young leaders in an effort to enhance life for the Dallas community through environmental, recreational, and economical efforts. Those interested can join online at thetrinitytrust.org/.
A visit to the National Trust property of Tyntesfield in North Somerset, on the way down for the mid autumn holiday in Dorset.
It is to the west of Bristol and the M5.
At look around the rooms at Tyntesfield House, only the ground floor was open. The upper floors might reopen in 2022.

The Orangery.
Perseus & Medusa - detail.
An early 19th century plaster copy of Antonio Canova’s famous marble statue. Canova was testing the limits of marble, with the left arm cantilevered over empty space while holding the heavy head of Medusa.
The Orangery, which now forms the south range of Green Court, was created in 1823 at the direction of Arabella Cope, widow of the 3rd Duke of Dorset, and her second husband, Lord Whitworth. It was converted from a much earlier space in an effort to bring an element of the Gothic Revival style, so popular at the beginning of the 19th century, to Knole.
The Orangery may have been planned as a gallery for the display of Classical sculptures as well as plants. An extensive collection of bas-reliefs, inscriptions and sculpture, both antique marble pieces and much later plaster casts, is fixed to the interior walls of the Orangery and may have been part of Cope and Whitworth’s original presentation of the building. They are mentioned in John Brady’s 1839 The Visitors Guide to Knole and may have been sourced from the Continent specifically for display here. Photographs reveal that by the mid-20th century the Orangery was used for the storage of other kinds of objects too. A black and white photo from 1945 shows the three-tiered Buzaglo stove, which dates to 1774 and previously stood in the Great Hall, had been moved to the Orangery. Before it was opened to the public in 2010, the Orangery was used for garden storage.
It's in an Oak tree but I don't think it's a Gall Wasp. It's a fair size. Could be the Alien I suppose.
So many interesting things about today.

The National Trust is a heritage and nature conservation charity and membership organisation in England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
The Trust was founded in 1895 by Octavia Hill, Sir Robert Hunter and Hardwicke Rawnsley to "promote the permanent preservation for the benefit of the Nation of lands and tenements (including buildings) of beauty or historic interest". It has since been given statutory powers, starting with the National Trust Act 1907. Historically, the Trust acquired land by gift and sometimes by public subscription and appeal, but after World War II the loss of country houses resulted in many such properties being acquired either by gift from the former owners or through the National Land Fund.
One of the largest landowners in the United Kingdom, the Trust owns almost 250,000 hectares (620,000 acres; 2,500 km2; 970 sq mi) of land and 780 miles (1,260 km) of coast. Its properties include more than 500 historic houses, castles, archaeological and industrial monuments, gardens, parks, and nature reserves. Most properties are open to the public for a charge (members have free entry), while open spaces are free to all. The Trust had an annual income of nearly £724 million in 2023/24, largely from membership subscriptions, donations and legacies, direct property income, profits from its shops and restaurants, and investments. It also receives grants from a variety of organisations including other charities, government departments, local authorities, and the National Lottery Heritage Fund.
Tyntesfield is a Victorian Gothic Revival estate near Wraxall, Somerset, England, near Nailsea, seven miles from Bristol.
The house was acquired by the National Trust in June 2002 after a fund raising campaign to prevent it being sold to private interests and ensure it be opened to the public.
William Gibbs purchased Tyntes Place, the original Regency-Gothic house that stood on the site, in 1843. In 1863 he began the full-blown rebuilding to create the Gothic Revival extravaganza that now stands; the cost was £70,000. Notable elements of the house include glass by Powell and Wooldridge, mosaics by Salviati, and ironwork by Hart, Son, Peard and Co. The original architect was John Norton. In the 1880s further alterations were made by architect Henry Woodyer. The chapel was designed by Arthur William Blomfield in the 1870s.
The appeal by the National Trust collected £8.2 million from the public in just 100 days and the Trust also received the largest single grant ever by the National Heritage Memorial Fund (at £17.4 million), which caused some controversy. The National Lottery has earmarked a further £25 million for the major conservation work that is needed.
Since 2004 staff have been cataloging the contents of the house, which had been collected by the four generations of the family. By 2008 a total of 30,000 items had been listed including an unexploded Second World War bomb, a jewel-encrusted chalice, a roll of 19th-century flock wallpaper and a coconut with carved face and hair. A further 10,000 items are being catalogued and photographed.
