The impressive Georgian church of All Saints next to Nuneham Courtney House has long ceased to be used for services and is currently vested in the Churches Conservation Trust.
Indeed it is almost impossible to imagine this bulding functioning as a parish church, having more the appearance of a family Mausoleum for the Harcourt family who formerly owned the estate.
There was a medieval church roughly on this site until 1762 when it was demolished and replaced by this building. All that now survives from the old church is an imposing (though sadly weathered) monument to the Pollard family c1577, oddly standing in the churchyard to the east of the present church under a protective structure.
Inside the church is impressively light and airy and contains much woodwork brought from elsewhere in the seating that runs the perimeter of the church, giving it a collegiate feel. Various monuments are dotted about, some of the later ones having been brought from the Victorian church in the village that was built to replace this one, but which now itself is redundant and converted to a mineral store by Oxford University (to whom the Harcourt Family sold the estate when they left it in 1948).
When I stop for the red light, On my right side I saw this Trust. My window was up, I was in trouble to focus, I did try my best.
Beside the Hot dog vendor, this person was feeding the bird. I know this kind of bird are not easy to tame. What a trust.
The first permanent memorial to be installed on the battlefield since the Cromwell Monument since 26 May 1936 was inaugurated on Sunday 10 June 2012 by the Blewcoat Regiment of Foote of the Sealed Knot.
The Lansdowne Monument
A 38 metre stone obelisk erected in 1845 by Third Marquis of Lansdowne, to commemorate an ancestor, Sir William Petty who was a physician and surveyor.
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.

Calke Abbey is a Grade I listed[1] country house near Ticknall, Derbyshire, England, in the care of the charitable National Trust.[2]
The site was an Augustinian priory from the 12th century until its dissolution by Henry VIII. The present building, named Calke Abbey in 1808, was never actually an abbey, but is a Baroque mansion built between 1701 and 1704.
The house was owned by the Harpur family for nearly 300 years until it was passed to the Trust in 1985 in lieu of death duties. Today, the house is open to the public and many of its rooms are deliberately displayed in the state of decline in which the house was handed to the Trust.
Calke Priory was found by Richard d'Avranches, 2nd Earl of Chester sometime between 1115 and 1120 and was dedicated to St Giles; d'Avranches had inherited from his father vast estates in both England and Normandy, of which Calke and many of the surrounding villages were part.[3]
Calke Priory was initially an independent community, but after the death of Ranulf de Gernon, 4th Earl of Chester in 1153, it (along with most of his Derbyshire estates) became part of the Dowry of his widow, Maud of Gloucester.[3] Maud initially granted nearby St. Wystan's Church, Repton to the canons at Calke Priory, but subsequently had a new priory, dedicated to the Holy Trinity, built at Repton. In 1172 she moved the Canons from Calke to the new Repton Priory, with Calke then becoming a subordinate "cell" to Repton Priory.[3]
Nothing is known of the priory during the 14th and 15th centuries, however, historian Oliver Garnett suggests the priory may have served more as the centre of an agricultural estate than as a religious establishment during this time.[3]
Repton Priory was dissolved in 1538, and its land confiscated by The Crown.[3] The cannons had, however, anticipated the dissolution and so had begun to lease out some of their estates: Calke was one of these, leased on 29 August 1537 to John Prest (or Priest) for 99 years.[3]
