A very picturesque castle ruin we visited down some winding old backroads just inland from Cromer. This is the gatehouse I believe with the central living area being in the background.

Wightwick Manor, Wolverhampton. Built for the Mander family in 1887, with a major extension added just six years later in 1893, both designed by Edward Ould, the house was taken over (somewhat reluctantly) by the National Trust in 1937. Theodore Mander and his wife Flora decorated its interiors with the designs of William Morris and his Arts and Crafts contemporaries. However, the Pre-Raphaelite collection was mostly assembled after the house was donated to the National Trust, particularly by Geoffrey Mander and his second wife, Rosalie, who continued to live at the Manor. It is Grade 1 listed.

For their own safety, the Conzaga family abandoned their most ornate and lavish home for residencies further from the capital and easier to defend from bandits and unruly peasants.
As time passed, nature began to reclaim the once neatly tended gardens, and the Conzaga family kept a low profile until the civil wars ended.

When your sat nav takes you through a village you never knew existed.
Coming round the bend on this narrow country lane you are suddenly confronted with this amazing Jacobean (early 17th century) manor house. Now Manor Farm.
This is a fascinating National Trust property on the outskirts of Wolverhampton and it's not as old as you may think. It was donated to the Trust in 1937 by Liberal MP Geoffrey Mander when the house was just 50 years old. The chimneys are very striking. The National Trust's web site gives an interesting account of its history:- www.nationaltrust.org.uk/wightwick-manor/
In August, we visited Rodmarton Manor, designed by Ernest Barnsley as an Arts and Crafts ‘cottage in the country’ for Claud Biddulph. Set in a slight semi-circle around a large lawn, it was intended to look like a village green, as indeed it does. Far from medieval, it was started in 1909 and with work interrupted by World War I, not completed until 1929. In the Arts and Crafts spirit, Barnsley used local craftspeople working with oak timber from the estate, local stone and metalwork by local blacksmiths. Inside, nearly all the furniture and fittings were made especially for the house, and still there today.
The house is open for visitors (sadly, no photographs are allowed) and the gardens, which were also designed in the Arts and Crafts style. Grade I listed, it has no less than 74 rooms of which 19 are bedrooms. The lower section on the left was the servants' quarters.
"Waddesdon Manor is a country house in the village of Waddesdon, in Buckinghamshire, England. It is located in the Aylesbury Vale, 6.6 miles (10.6 km) west of Aylesbury. The house was built in the Neo-Renaissance style of a French château between 1874 and 1889 for Baron Ferdinand de Rothschild (1839–1898) as a weekend residence for grand entertaining.
The last member of the Rothschild family to own Waddesdon was James de Rothschild (1878–1957). He bequeathed the house and its contents to the National Trust."

This was a commissioned model based off of Leanan Manor. This version is a bit larger and features a full interior that can be reached via lift off floors or the hinging function. All the doors and window shutters actually open and close. It is also an entry into the small miscellaneous category of the Colossal Castle Contest.
Leanorll Manor sits on a rock island in the middle of a placid lake. This morning, one of the servants brings in fresh water and kindling while the cook peels an apple. Lord Leanor makes his morning rounds and checks in with the roof top sentry.

A day out to Wightwick Manor - (National Trust) - in Wolverhampton.
Please excuse the terrible quality of the interior images ... the Manor House is very dark inside and I had to push my ISO up to 6400 resulting in very noisy images ! :-(
When Theodore Mander commissioned the building of a new manor on Wightwick Bank in the Old English style in 1887 he started the Mander family's love for Victorian art & design which would unfold over a century of collecting and preservation.
My thanks as always to Jeff D. for the lift and opportunity to get some images today.
It's really a Victorian era house, but the name is Torosay Castle! It even has it's own narrow gauge steam railway that runs from the port to the house.

Just before autumn would kicks in and the cold wind blows the leaves from the trees, we headed for the UK. To meet up with Andre Govia. I have been following this guy from the moment i started exploring and he followed me. Allthough we are fan of eahothers work, we'd never met and we never explored together. Times to change this!
We set the date and time and Bart and I drove our car all the way through France, on the ferry, to the meeting point. We met up with Andre, who brought along Paul, James and ill-padrino.
First stop, the incredible Potter's manor. The only thing....we where too late. Just a week before our visit this place was still in mint untouched condition. But it has been ruined in less than a weeks time by vandals. Everything has been smashed, tagged and stolen.
It was still a great place to visit and a lot of fun with our new friends!
Thanks again lads for a great day!!

Waddesdon Manor was built by Baron Ferdinand de Rothschild (of the famous banking family) between 1874 and 1885 to display his collection of arts and to entertain the fashionable world. It is managed by the Rothschild Foundation, a family charitable trust, on behalf of the National Trust, which took over ownership in 1957.
The Great Hall
Harlaxton Manor is an early Victorian country house close to the village of Harlaxton near Grantham in Lincolnshire. Building of the house was started in 1832 and was designed by the architect Anthony Salvin for the local squire Gregory Gregory. The house was mostly complete by 1837 and by this time Gregory had replaced Salvin with the Scottish architect William Burn who designed most of the interior of the house.
The house is built in a Gothic, Jacobean and Baroque style and has many sumptuous states rooms including a grand cedar staircase and a medieval style great hall. The house is now the UK base for the University of Evansville.

It seems like this location will soon become a thing of the past as a planned housing development looks to have been given the go ahead, making this kind of shot here a thing of the past before too long
The present hall was built in 1616 by Sir George Booth, who received one of the first baronetcies to be created by James I in 1611; it was remodelled by John Norris for his descendant, George, 2nd Earl of Warrington between 1732 and 1740
Our peaceful, Grade 1 registered garden is unlike any other with its romantic design and architecture, combining formality with nature and magnificent rural views across an unspoilt valley, whilst beautifully framed architectural gems and antiquities punctuate your visit throughout. Set on the last hill of the Cotswolds, within the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, we hope that all who visit leave here feeling relaxed and inspired.
From its origins in the wool industry, through Georgian gentrification, then Harold Peto’s Edwardian structures, and right up to the present period, the passion of Iford’s inhabitants and its history are inextricably bound up in the beautiful garden’s unique design.
Today, Iford’s story continues to be written in this secluded corner of ‘Olde England’ with a new generation of owners, William and Marianne Cartwright-Hignett, who are taking the garden forward. Their appointment of Troy Scott Smith as Head Gardener (previously Head Gardener at Sissinghurst, Bodnant and The Courts) ensures there is much of horticultural interest throughout the season, as well as architectural and design. The gardens will be expanded yet further over the coming years, whilst refreshing the planting and preserving the heritage within the main garden itself. There will therefore be something new to discover on every visit.
The structural design seen today was largely created by Harold Peto, who lived at Iford from 1899-1933. A man of exquisite taste, with a talent for placing objects sympathetically to their surroundings, he designed gardens for royalty and aristocracy around the world. Trained as an architect, working in partnership with Sir Ernest George, Harold Peto ‘discovered’ a real passion for plants when undertaking work at Gravetye Manor, then home to ‘the father of gardening’ William Robinson.
Learning much about gardening directly from Robinson, Peto subsequently travelled the world, including Japan, Canada, America, Egypt and across Europe, learning about garden design and bringing back plants from all over the world. His skill for garden design, planting and architecture meant that he was in demand, especially on the Cap Ferrat in France where many of the world’s most expensive houses are today. Peto was the architect for several of those villas and gardens, to the extent that the Cap Ferrat was nicknamed ‘Peto Point’ in Edwardian times. Working for royalty, aristocracy and tycoons, his main patrons were the then Countess of Warwick and Isabella Stewart-Gardner.
Influenced mainly by his love of Roman, Italian and Japanese design, he was a promoter of the renaissance period and had a strong influence on the Arts and Crafts period. Striking the balance between formal and informal gardening, between soft planting and hard structure, Harold Peto’s work was appreciated in writings by Gertrude Jeykll and William Robinson.
During the past 55 years, today’s owners, the Cartwright-Hignett family, have lovingly restored the garden (once thought 'lost' after WW2) and continued to develop it, saving the buildings therein, finishing the Oriental Garden area designed by John Hignett and redesigning areas of the garden as they age, 100 years after Peto’s original plantings
