Sissinghurs Castle Garden. A National Trust property in Kent.
One of the world's most celebrated gardens, the creation of Vita Sackville-West and her husband Sir Harold Nicolson.
Lyme Park is a large estate located south of Disley, Cheshire. The estate is managed by the National Trust and consists of a mansion house surrounded by formal gardens, in a deer park in the Peak District National Park. The house is the largest in Cheshire, and is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade I listed building.
The estate was granted to Sir Thomas Danyers in 1346 and passed to the Leghs of Lyme by marriage in 1388. It remained in the possession of the Legh family until 1946 when it was given to the National Trust. The house dates from the latter part of the 16th century. Modifications were made to it in the 1720s by Giacomo Leoni, who retained some of the Elizabethan features and added others, particularly the courtyard and the south range. Further modifications were made by Lewis Wyatt in the 19th century, especially to the interior. Formal gardens were created and developed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The house, gardens and park have been used as locations for filming and they are open to the public. The Lyme Caxton Missal is on display in the Library.

The Trust Board hosted the first of three annual 'thank you' tea parties for staff across its hospital sites today, starting with Hemel Hempstead Hospital.
This was an opportunity for the Board to be able to thank staff personally for their hard work over the past year. Afternoon tea was provided with a string duo playing live music.

The 23rd Edition Landmark Trust Handbook has now been published. Inside are six new entries for the most recently completed buildings plus news of some forthcoming Landmarks, including one designed by Pugin! With an expanded introductory section and updated mapping throughout this is a must purchase (I'm biased as they have used several of my photos!)
The caption information on the back of this picture from July, 1989, still leaves a few questions unanswered. It reads: "Pictured leaving the Arbroath Venture Trust Ofices for Cherrybank on Tuesday morning are from left - Steve Wales, Colleen Mochan, Faye Gillies, Moira Wallace, Kelly Cruickshanks, Bill Gilmour, Graham Henderson, Wilma Maver and Laurie Smith."
All Saints, Shirburn, Oxfordshire.
Grade ll listed.
The Earls of Macclesfield have owned Shirburn Castle since 1716. The north transept of All Saints' Church contains their family pew and the north chapel is the Macclesfield family mausoleum. - See more at: www.visitchurches.org.uk/Ourchurches/Completelistofchurch...
Shirburn Castle is a fortress - even today. I understand even Dr Pevsner was unable to gain access for the Oxfordshire volume of his Buildings of England books.
I have read the church is also difficult of access despite it being a Churched Conservation Trust church, but I have to say the people in the Shirburn Estate office were very accommodating.
I decided to visit this National Trust run, place on the 3rd August 2018. Take the A3057 out of Romsey you will see a sign for Mottisfont about 3½ miles out of Romsey. They had a large car park which was free to visitors. It was in the middle of the heat wave we were having in Britain at the time and so many people were there with the kids because it was, school holidays also. Mottisfont Abbey and with the house is a historical priory and country estate in Hampshire, England. The Abbey sections were like a cellar building below the main part of the house and was so cool in the strong heat of summer outside. Sheltering in the valley of the River Test, the property is now operated by the National Trust. About 350,000 people visit each year. The site includes the house museum, regularly changing art exhibitions, gardens and a river walk. It is a Grade I listed building and next to the house is a fantastic Cafe area.
Mottisfont Abbey has wonderful grounds to complement the house itself. There are areas of wooded shade, a walk along the River Test, enough lawned area for many picnics and magnificent and pungent rose gardens, particularly on early summer evenings. On visiting Mottisfont you will be just as likely to encounter families with small children as you will a coach party or two of tourists. On a summer's day, Mottisfont is a relaxing retreat from the hustle and bustle of the busy city of Southampton and market town of Romsey, both nearby and with their own attractions to occupy your time..
In the summer months they often hold theatre productions outside, and at different times of the year, there are specific trails, mainly but not totally aimed at children, for example at Easter, Halloween, Christmas etc. There are several places around the grounds where you can buy refreshments and drinks, a modern National Trust shop has been built here along with an ice cream parlour and exhibition space. A new Visitor Centre was finally finished in early 2016. If you are walking The Test Way, which passes through Mottisfont and around the Abbey grounds, you will see the main house from the rear as you pass through fields along the northern boundary. While walking along this river walk I managed to see a Grass snake or water snake swimming in the very clear waters of the River Test.
The Black Death struck this initially prosperous priory and so it suffered from the mid - 14th century onwards as many places did when this terrible disease attacked so many people. During the Dissolution of the Monasteries under the then King Henry VIII, the priory was dissolved and the king gave Mottisfont and its grounds to a favoured statesman, Sir William Sandys a Knight of the Garter, who turned it into a country home. Sections of the original medieval church may still be seen, with the later additions built around them. This feels uneasily spooky in here being so old, damp, and a feeling of nostalgia so to speak by being in such a marvellous building that has stood the test of time.
Consider the sharp blade of the seed
within the bound solidity of silk----
how can we trust
such succulence, so mortal?

Cliveden (pronounced Klivd'n) is an English country house and estate in the care of the National Trust in Buckinghamshire, on the border with Berkshire. The Italianate mansion, also known as Cliveden House, crowns an outlying ridge of the Chiltern Hills close to the South Bucks villages of Burnham and Taplow. The main house sits 40 metres (130 ft) above the banks of the River Thames, and its grounds slope down to the river. Cliveden has become one of the National Trust's most popular pay-for-entry visitor attractions, hosting 524,807 visitors in 2019.
Cliveden has been the home to a Prince of Wales, two Dukes, an Earl, and finally the Viscounts Astor. As the home of Nancy Astor, wife of the 2nd Viscount Astor, Cliveden was the meeting place of the 'Cliveden Set' of the 1920s and 30s—a group of political intellectuals.
Later, during the early 1960s when it was the home of the 3rd Viscount Astor, it became the setting for key events of the notorious Profumo affair.
After the Astor family stopped living there, by the 1970s it was leased to Stanford University, which used it as an overseas campus. Today the house is leased to a company that runs it as a five-star hotel.
