Day twelve .. Having a look around Sizergh Castle and Garden.
Sizergh Castle and Garden is a stately home and garden at Helsington in the English county of Cumbria, about 4 miles (6 km) south of Kendal. The castle, a grade I listed building, is in the care of the National Trust along with its garden and estate. It is the home of the Hornyold-Strickland family.
There are oak-panelled interiors, including the Inlaid Chamber, where the panelling is inlaid with floral and geometric patterns in pale poplar and dark bog-oak. The contents of the Inlaid Chamber were sold to the Victoria and Albert Museum (V&A) in the 1890s and it was displayed as a reconstructed period room. The return of the panelling to its original location at Sizergh was advocated by among others Mark Girouard, an authority on England's country houses. The panelling returned in 1999 under a long-term loan. In 2017 it was reported that transfer of ownership to the National Trust had been made formal.
In 2016 the Sizergh estate was included in the newly extended Lake District National Park.
A collection of portraits of the Catholic Royal Stuart family reflects the Strickland family's links to the Jacobite court in exile at Saint-Germain-en-Laye. There are portraits by Alexis Simon Belle, painter in ordinary to James VII & II and the Old Pretender, of Queen Mary of Modena and her daughter Princess Louisa Maria.
The Deincourt family owned this land from the 1170s. On the marriage of Elizabeth Deincourt to Sir William de Stirkeland in 1239, the estate passed into the hands of what became the Strickland family, who owned it until it was gifted to the National Trust in 1950 by Gerald Strickland, 1st Baron Strickland's grandson Lt. Cdr. Thomas Hornyold-Strickland, 7th Count della Catena.
Catherine Parr, the sixth wife of Henry VIII and a relative of the Stricklands, is thought to have lived here after her first husband died in 1533. Catherine's second husband, Lord Latymer, was kin to the dowager Lady Strickland.
It was extended in Elizabethan times. Sir Thomas Strickland went into exile with James II.
The garden has a lake and a kitchen garden as well as an award-winning rock garden. The rock garden, which was constructed in the 1920s, is the largest limestone rock garden belonging to the National Trust.
Sizergh houses part of the National Collection of ferns which are to be seen in the rock garden, the stumpery and the orchard.

Hadn't realised there was a dress hanging on the back of the door until I closed the door. Very sad and poignant I thought.

Hand Painted table / desk Furniture Unique Lime Green Table / Desk with Huge Red / Hot Pink Flower

In a scene of utter destruction, a robot sits before a damaged vanity mirror and dressing table, tightening screws and oiling his face. Mel Hunter is said to have named his robot “the last man” and documented his robot’s adventures on no less than sixteen covers of F&SF magazine, beginning October 1955 and ending May 2003. It's unclear if "the last man" was ever connected to a story, other than the stories imagined by the covers.
------------------------------------------------
American illustrator Mel Hunter (1927-2004) was renowned for his contributions to science fiction and fantasy art. Born in Oak Park, Illinois, Hunter’s early life was marked by hardship, but he channeled his experiences into his art. He began his career in the 1950s, creating illustrations for major science fiction magazines, including “The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction,” where he produced many memorable robot covers. His signature robot, often depicted as a skeletal steel figure wandering through desolate landscapes, became iconic in the genre.
Mel Hunter’s work extended beyond science fiction, encompassing technical and scientific illustrations for clients such as Northrup Aircraft, NASA, and National Geographic. His unique blend of technical accuracy and imaginative flair earned him a nomination for the Hugo Award for Best Professional Artist in the early 1960s. His legacy endures through his evocative and whimsical art, which continues to inspire fans and artists alike. [Source: Wikipedia]

(Again, the quality here leaves a lot to be desired;
basically, just underexposed, I think.)
