These portraits were hanging in the small dining room at Bayons Manor Tealby (demolished 1964 after years of dereliction). The canvases are about 1 3/4 foot wide (50cm) and they were painted in oil. They date from around 1790 to 1820
The Tennyson d'Eyncourt family were especially keen on their own family history so it is most likely that these are family portraits.. but could be distant relatives? Any information or their current whereabouts appreciated.
A closer view of the baptistry mosaic. The opus sectile tiles were designed by Charles Hardgrave and, as you can see, are based on larger tile shapes that follow the design on them, rather than being made up of little mosaic pieces. The style is very much Arts and Crafts, as the baptistry was created in 1912-13.
Kelmscott Manor was the inspirational Cotswold retreat of William Morris and his family, friends and colleagues. When Morris first saw the Manor in 1871, he was delighted by this 'loveliest haunt of ancient peace'; he signed a joint lease for the property with his friend and colleague Dante Gabriel Rossetti, the Pre-Raphaelite artist.
Morris loved the house as a work of true craftsmanship, totally unspoilt and unaltered, and in harmony with the village and the surrounding countryside. He considered it so natural in its setting as to be almost organic, it looked to him as if it had "grown up out of the soil"; and with "quaint garrets amongst great timbers of the roof where of old times the tillers and herdsmen slept". Its beautiful gardens, with barns, dovecote, a meadow and stream, provided a constant source of inspiration for Morris until his death in 1896. After his death, his wife Jane purchased the house, and his daughter, May, spent much of her adult life there. The entire family—William and Jane Morris and their children, Jenny and May—are buried in the grounds of nearby St George's church. The village of Kelmscott also contains cottages designed by Webb and Gimson as well as the Morris Memorial Hall (also Gimson), all of which have associations with the Morris family.

In 1937 Geoffrey Mander MP did something remarkable - he persuaded the National Trust to accept a house that was just 50 years old.
The local paint manufacturer and Liberal MP had been left the timber-framed house by his father Theodore. Taking inspiration from a lecture on 'the House Beautiful' by Oscar Wilde, Theodore and his wife Flora had decorated its interiors with the designs of William Morris and his Arts and Crafts contemporaries.
This house of the Aesthetic Movement was, by 1937, a relic of an out of fashion era. Yet, so complete was the design that it was worthy of preservation. Having given the house to the Trust, Geoffrey and his second wife Rosalie became its live-in curators, opening the house to the public and adding to its contents. In particular they added a remarkable collection of Pre-Raphaelite paintings by Rossetti, Burne-Jones and their followers.

The 15th century stone manor house lies near the town of Bradford on Avon in Wiltshire. Now a National Trust property. A 'perfect Wiltshire Manor House', is how Pevsner described Westwood Manor. It was the former home of Edgar Lister, a former diplomat in the early part of the 20th century. The house contains furniture, tapestries and musical instruments collected by Lister. The property was passed to the National Trust, after the death of the owner in a car crash in 1956.

Lytes Cary is a manor house with associated chapel and gardens near Charlton Mackrell and Somerton in Somerset, England. The property, owned by the National Trust, has parts dating to the 14th century, with other sections dating to the 15th, 16th, 18th, and 20th centuries.
The unusual name derives from the Lyte family who lived at Lytes Cary for over four centuries, and the River Cary which flows nearby. The first documentary evidence is from 1285 when it was known as Kari. William le Lyte was a feudal tenant of the estate in 1286, and the Lyte family occupied and added to the house until the mid 18th century. The earliest surviving part of the manor and associated buildings is the chapel, which dates to the mid-14th century.
