It's another damp, dreary January day here in North Georgia, so I'm adding a few shots to this set taken on a quick trip in late May, 2007, from Moreton-in-Marsh to the National Trust house and garden at Snowshill Manor. I took an early morning bus to the village of Broadway, then found the Cotswold Way and walked the four miles to Snowshill. The house itself was undergoing extensive restoration that day, and the weather was so perfect that I decided to spend the little time that I had in the garden. I had lunch in the perfect National Trust Restaurant - local produce simply prepared - and a couple that I had met graciously offered me a lift back so that I could catch my train to London that afternoon. I hope to get back some day so that I can see the house itself and the rest of Snowshill Village.

The architect of this the largest of the garden buildings is unknown, both Earl Temple and Thomas Pitt, 1st Baron Camelford have been suggested as the architect. Built from stone, the building is located where the two legs of the valley meet. It is raised on a podium with a flight of steps up to the main entrance. The main pediment contains a sculpture by Peter Scheemakers of Four-Quarters of the World bringing their Various Products to Britannia, there are six statues of cast lead painted to resemble stone on both the east and west pediments. In the frieze of the entablature are the words CONCORDIAE ET VICTORIAE.
The sculpture on the building dates from the 1760s when it was converted into a monument to the British victory in the Seven Years' War. The wooden doors are painted a Prussian blue with gilded highlights on the moldings.

"Scotney Castle is an English country house with formal gardens south-east of Lamberhurst in the valley of the River Bewl in Kent, England. It belongs to the National Trust.
The gardens, which are a celebrated example of the Picturesque style, are open to the public. The central feature is the ruins of a medieval, moated manor house, Scotney Old Castle, which is on an island on a small lake. The lake is surrounded by sloping, wooded gardens with fine collections of rhododendrons, azaleas and kalmia for spring colour, summer wisteria and roses, and spectacular autumn colour.
At the top of the garden stands a house which was built to replace the Old Castle between 1835 and 1843. This is known as Scotney New Castle, or simply Scotney Castle, and was designed by Anthony Salvin. It is an early, and unusually restrained, example of Tudor Revival architectural style in 19th century Britain. Following the death of the resident, Elizabeth Hussey, in 2006, this house was opened to the public for the first time on 6 June 2007."
