A working estate still guided by the seasons, with an impressive mansion, parkland, gardens and Home Farm
Over the centuries, Wimpole has been owned by several families, and each has left its mark.
The present house, at the heart of this estate, was the vision of Elsie Bambridge. Wimpole had been an empty shell until she filled it with pictures and furniture, bringing it back to a welcoming home in the 1930s.
Intimate rooms contrast with beautiful and unexpected Georgian interiors, including Soane's remarkable Yellow Drawing Room.
Stroll around the colourful parterre garden and wander through the Pleasure Grounds to the Walled Garden, abundant with fruit, vegetables and beautiful herbaceous borders.

For our most recent uni project on physiognomy (basically portrait really)
I ended up approaching strangers on the street I felt looked untrustworthy and may normally avoid. I asked them if I could take a photo and took 1 shot of each.
I wanted to see if my assumption was changed in any way and similarities between each person.

TRUST IN ENERGY TRUST
Energy Trust of Oregon helps Oregonians make decisions that will reduce their energy costs, environmental impact, and improve the economy. People knew who they were, but misunderstood precisely what they did. We helped them simplify their messaging and describe their mission in a more accessible manner, more than tripling their name recognition in the two years we worked together.

By the 16th century the Arundell family had become well-established and was connected by marriage to nearly all the other landed families in Cornwall.
The status of the family increased through various members gaining good positions at the Royal court. Their legacy is this grand manor on a Cornish scale.
The Arundells inherited Trerice through marriage around 700 years ago. By 1572 John Arundell V had begun building the house we know today. Ten years earlier his income had been boosted by marrying well. Son of the builder of Trerice, Sir John Arundell VI earned the title John for the King due to his role in the Civil War, especially his defence of Pendennis Castle in Falmouth for Charles I.
After the restoration of Charles II, Richard Arundell became Baron Arundell in recognition of the support he and his father had given Charles I. We know little about how the Arundell family lived at Trerice. The Arundell line died out in 1768, and Trerice passed to the Aclands.
It was the marriage of John, 2nd Baron Arundell to Margaret Acland in 1675 that eventually led to the great Devonian family based at Killerton inheriting Trerice. Sir Thomas Dyke Acland never lived at Trerice but often stayed on his political forays into Cornwall. He also used the Great Hall for entertaining.
Initially arriving at Trerice as tenants of its last private owner, the Eltons took on the tenancy from the National Trust in 1953. At his own expense John Elton paid for the repair of the remaining parts of Trerice - and went on to rebuild the fallen north wing. His aim was to create a comfortable family home.

Cragside is a Victorian Tudor Revival country house near the town of Rothbury in Northumberland, England. It was the home of William Armstrong, 1st Baron Armstrong, founder of the Armstrong Whitworth armaments firm. An industrial magnate, scientist, philanthropist and inventor of the hydraulic crane and the Armstrong gun, Armstrong also displayed his inventiveness in the domestic sphere, making Cragside the first house in the world to be lit using hydroelectric power. The estate was technologically advanced; the architect of the house, Richard Norman Shaw, wrote that it was equipped with "wonderful hydraulic machines that do all sorts of things". In the grounds, Armstrong built dams and lakes to power a sawmill, a water-powered laundry, early versions of a dishwasher and a dumb waiter, a hydraulic lift and a hydroelectric rotisserie. In 1887, Armstrong was raised to the peerage, the first engineer or scientist to be ennobled, and became Baron Armstrong of Cragside.
in 1977, the house was acquired by the National Trust with the aid of a grant from the National Land Fund. A Grade I listed building since 1953, Cragside has been open to the public since 1979.
Battle of Brentford - 12th November 1642.
The battle of Brentford was fought on the 12th November 1642. Following the battle of Edgehill, and after taking Banbury and Oxford, the royalist army eventually advanced on London along the Thames valley. On 12th a detachment attacked two parliamentarian regiments quartered in Brentford, that were covering the approach to London from the west. The battle primarily involved a fight through what was then the small town of Brentford, some 8 miles from the capital. The royalists were victorious but their army was delayed by the parliamentarian resistance and halted outside the town at nightfall. This allowed the parliamentary field army and London militia to form-up on Turnham Green and halt the King’s advance on London the next day.

Fully aware she could slip off the blue velveteen throw, this trusting feline is care-free. Knowing that her master would not fail to catch her if she was to fall. Faith, trust and love. A wonderous combination.
