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
Owned, and latterly neglected, for many years by the Russel family, the Earls and Dukes of Bedford, Chenies Manor was sold by the Russelsin 1954.

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
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.

This photo shows some detail of part of the main part of Waddesdon Manor, which is basically a French chateau in England! It is a fine and beautiful place to visit but I know it is not suitable for people with limited mobility.
This photo is an archive shot of mine, unlike the one before which was taken this year. This was shot on a Minolta XD5 using 100 ISO film with a Rokkor lens.

This is Lyons Manor, a house that once belonged to a well-known businessman in the small town of Carberry (Manitoba). We were awed by the size and architectural quality of the house, uncommon for a rural residence in this area. Unfortunately, the place looked like it had been ravaged by vandals at some point or two, so there was not much left.

Over its 500 year history this building has had several names and two locations. Selly Manor is a confusing name as it was never the manor house for the area; the name was given when the house was moved to its current site. This house was built as a yeoman’s house, a class below gentry.
The earliest records for the house date from 1476. At that time it was called Smythes Tenement and was on William Jenette’s estate. He was lord of the sub manor of Selly, a landed estate that had its own court to collect fines. William Jenette rented Smythes Tenement to a local farmer, John Othe’field (John of the field).
The owners of Smythes Tenement prospered, and made extensive renovations in the 17th century to make the house more comfortable to live in and to reflect their wealth. However, the house was later inherited and sold to a succession of absentee landlords who viewed the house as an investment, and its status fell. The house became unfashionable, and its status fell further in 1795 when the house was sold separately to the land that went with it .
The condition of Smythes Tenement continued to decline. By 1853 it had been split into three cottages and was known as The Rookery. The census records show that by 1861, there were 21 people living in what must have been overcrowded conditions.
In 1907, The Rookery was in poor condition and was put up for sale by auction. It was bought by George Cadbury, who was a chocolate manufacturer, philanthropist, creator of Bournville village and teacher of adult education.
George Cadbury bought The Rookery to be a museum. In a letter to his son, Laurence he wrote:
‘These old buildings are educational and especially needed for a new town like Birmingham; a vast majority of people never think of bygone times.’
Contemporary accounts state that the area where The Rookery stood was ‘unlovely’. To give the building a better future, George Cadbury had the building carefully taken down and moved to its current site. Work began in 1909, and was finally completed in 1916. By the time the work was complete, The Rookery had a new name – Selly Manor. It opened as a museum the following year.
Wakehurst Place is a National Trust site, managed by Kew Gardens. It is situated in West Sussex, set in 465 acres of country estate and boasts ornamental gardens, temperate woodlands, a nature reserve and an Elizabethan mansion. This is the view of the mansion as you pass it on the way to the gardens and the feeding station where the bird photos were taken. Nice to have a sunny day, even if the wind was biting and the tempearures low.

Baddesley Clinton (grid reference SP199714), is a moated manor house, located some 8 miles (13 km) north-west of the historic town of Warwick in the English county of Warwickshire. The house probably originated in the 13th century, when large areas of the Forest of Arden were cleared for farmland. The site is a Scheduled Ancient Monument and the hall a Grade I listed building

Olympus OM40 Program
Tamron 28-70mm - f/3.5-4.5
As we accidentally found this beast of a manor, I was glad that I brought the Olympus, The only problem being, that after two shots I found myself in the middle of nowhere, in Belgium, on a Sunday morning, with two empty button cell battery's. Analogue photographers may confirm... Sometimes they last a whole year... sometimes a month. Anyway, I had to return home with these two shots as I didn't bring spares... Now retrieved from the old box... The terrain and building were easily accessed. Inside we found a king-size staircase and many places where parts of the roof had come down (upstairs especially) Also, many homeless people had attempted to make this their residence as many burned out fireplaces, old mattresses and blankets were spread throughout the entire building. A shame to come around so unprepared.

I have built (a part of) Wayne Manor. I wanted to show how the rich Bruce Wayne lives over the well known bat cave. Round about 150.000 parts were used for this moc, mainly small bricks and plates - and over 10.000 jumper plates 1x2 and 2x2 in almost all colours.
More minfigures than usually were at Wayne Manor. There was an costume party, but the Joker invited himself and Bruce Wayne could not become the Dark Knight. So the rest of the bat family hat to solve the problem ...
Wightwick Manor (pronounced 'Wittick') is a Victorian era house built to resemble an Elizabethan style manor house but equipped with all of the mod cons of the late 19th century, including electricity (DC powered by an on-site generator), indoor plumbing, central heating and even a venting/cooling system.
Taking inspiration from a lecture on 'the House Beautiful' by Oscar Wilde, the first owner's son, Theodore Mander, and his wife Flora decorated its interiors with the designs of William Morris and his Arts and Crafts contemporaries. The house portrays life during the Victorian era with original Morris wallpapers and fabrics, De Morgan tiles, Kempe glass, and many Pre-Raphaelite works of art. It is one of only a few surviving examples of a house built and furnished under the influence of the Arts and Crafts movement.
Wightwick was built in two phases; the first was completed in 1887 and the house was extended in 1893 just to provide accommodation for the family's guests.
Theodore's son Geoffrey and daughter-in-law, Florence, were active in the women's suffrage movement. Geoffrey was following in the footsteps of his grandfather, Samuel, who also advocated women's political rights long.
The house was first offered to the National Trust in 1936, but it was turned down because the house was only 50 years old! The following year the owners sweetened the pot by offering an endowment to maintain the house and the NT accepted. The offer included a proviso that the family could continue to occupy part of the house (which they did until 1986) while the rest was open to the public.

This is Moses Cone and his wife Bertha's home in Blowing Rock, NC. Moses Cone was an entrepreneur, philanthropist and conservationist who manufactured textiles at his facility in Greensboro.
Flat Top Manor was built at the turn of the century in the Victorian Neo-Classical Style. Building materials including the gaslights, telephone and central heating system had to be hauled 20 miles from Lenoir, NC by horse drawn wagons. The house cost $25,000 to build at a time when $200 was the median for a habitable structure. The country estate comprises 23 rooms and 13,000 square feet with leaded glasses windows and dormers and a single lane bowling alley.
Moses Cone did not get to enjoy his country retreat very long. In 1908 he died, 7 years after the home was completed. His wife outlived him by 39 years and upon her death in 1947 the estate was bequeathed to the Moses Cone Hospital who then later turned it over to the Blue Ridge Parkway. It is now a national heritage site and the most visited along the expanse of scenic roadway.
There are 25 miles of carriage roads throughout the grounds, plus hiking trails, 2 man-made lakes and apple orchards. It sits at milepost 294 along the Blue Ridge Parkway.
This build was commissioned by Peter Sagal (Nation Public Radio host and author) as a gift to (legendary anchorman) Bill Kurtis and his wife Donna. Peter presented the build on the one year anniversary of his marriage at Mettawa Manor.
The house was built in 1927 and since 1990, Bill and his wife have been working to restore the property and gardens,
This creation was built solely from pictures provided by Bill's assistant and housekeeper (in secret of course). It was on public display at Brickworld Chicago 2019 where it was nominated for best small building.
