Sowshill Manor was the property of Winchcombe Abbey from 821 until the Dissolution of the Monasteries in 1539[2] when the Abbey was confiscated by King Henry VIII. Between 1539 and 1919 it had a number of tenants and owners until it was purchased by Charles Paget Wade, an architect, artist-craftsman, collector, poet and heir to the family fortune. He restored the property, living in the small cottage in the garden and using the manor house as a home for his collection of objects. He gave the property and the contents of this collection to the National Trust in 1951

This is a picture I took a few years ago of Harlaxton Manor. You may recognise this place for it's appearance in a number of films, more famously for the remake of the Haunting Starring Liam Neeson, Lili Taylor, Catherine Zeta Jones, and Owen Wilson. I have never been into the grounds or the house itself as it doesn't seem to be open to the public very often. However there are a few open days throughout the Summer Holidays and I only work a few miles away, so I may be tempted to visit soon.

At Pashley Manor Gardens you will discover 11 acres of beautiful borders and vistas – the culmination of a lifetime of passion for gardening, an appetite for beauty and an admiration of the tradition of the English Country garden. These graceful gardens, on the border of Sussex and Kent, are family owned and maintained – visitors often express delight at the attention to detail displayed throughout and the intimate, peaceful atmosphere.
All the ingredients of the English Country Garden are present – sweeping herbaceous borders, ha-ha, well maintained lawns, box hedges, espaliered rose walk, historic walled garden, inspiring kitchen garden, venerable trees and the Grade I listed house as a backdrop. The gardens are a haven for wildlife – bees, butterflies and small birds as well as moor hens, ducks and a black swan. Then, of course, the plants! Borders overflowing with perennials and annuals – the look changing through the seasons, but always abundantly filled, and each garden ‘room’ planted in a different colour theme.
Pashley is also renowned for fantastic displays of tulips, roses and dahlias. Our annual Tulip Festival features more than 48,000 tulips this year! During Special Rose Week over a hundred varieties of rose swathe the walls, climb obelisks and bloom in flower beds. Then in late summer our Dahlia Days event transforms the gardens once more with bountiful, brightly coloured dahlias in every border and pot.
Add to all this a Café and Terrace with excellent garden views, serving delicious homemade lunches, scones and cakes; Sculpture and Art Exhibitions; a Gift Shop with Plant Sales; and a friendly, knowledgeable team waiting to welcome you, and the recipe for a wonderful day out is complete.

Cette superbe demeure du XVIIIe siècle,sise à St Sébastien sur Loire, classée Monument historique, est une "Folie" attribué à l'architecte nantais Ceineray qui a dû la concevoir pour son ami Jean Mérot (1774). Cette vielle famille bourgeoise de Nantes, maîtres tanneurs de générations en génération, s'est anoblie en 1736 en achetant la charge de Secrétaire du Roi en Bretagne.
Elle a subi les tourments de la révolution, des "Vendéens", pendant la première guerre un régiment américain y a séjourné et les allemands au cours de la seconde ont contribué à la dégrader. Et pour finir c'est un ORL nantais qui à achevé le saccage en emportant dans son riche appartement nantais les boiseries.
Elle a été fort bien rénovée depuis par les nouveaux propriétaires sauf pour les cheminées extérieures dues à un architecte peu respectueux des règles de sont art !
Les "folies" étaient des demeures d'agrément construits par les riches bourgeois de Nantes, principalement sur les bords de Loire ou de l'Erdre.

Waddesdon Manor is a country house in the village of Waddesdon, in Buckinghamshire, England. Owned by the National Trust and managed by the Rothschild Foundation, it is one of the National Trust's most visited properties, with over 463,000 visitors in 2019.
The Grade I listed house was built in a mostly Neo-Renaissance style, copying individual features of several French châteaux, between 1874 and 1889 for Baron Ferdinand de Rothschild (1839–1898) as a weekend residence for entertaining and to house his collection of arts and antiquities. As the manor and estate have passed through three generations of the Rothschild family, the contents of the house have expanded to become one of the most rare and valuable collections in the world. In 1957, James de Rothschild bequeathed the house and its contents to the National Trust, opening the house and gardens for the benefit of the general public. Unusually for a National Trust property, the family of James Rothschild, the donor, manage the house
The chapel building at Hidcote Manor Garden in Gloucestershire had several previous uses prior to becoming a secondhand bookshop for the National Trust. Research suggests that in the late 1700s this building was a barn with first-floor granary store.
Sometime around 1833, the then owner, converted the barn into a stable for four horses and added a saddle room. By 1929, Lawrence Johnston had changed the layout to accommodate two horses and a tack room.
The construction used high-quality materials and workmanship. It is likely the design of the building matched the classical front face of the Manor House. Ten years later he converted the stables to a chapel. He steepened the roof, removed the first-floor and added 15th century stained glass.

Mount Wilga House, 2a Manor Road, in Hornsby, northern Sydney. A heritage listed mansion. Built in 1913-1914 by Henry Marcus Clarke. Discovered by me today, Saturday 20th June, 2020, as I was driving through the back streets of Hornsby looking for a place that had advertised geraniums and cactus plants for sale!
