Knole, Sevenoaks, Kent.
The National Trust.
The Orangery.
The Orangery, which now forms the south range of Green Court, was created in 1823 at the direction of Arabella Cope, widow of the 3rd Duke of Dorset, and her second husband, Lord Whitworth. It was converted from a much earlier space in an effort to bring an element of the Gothic Revival style, so popular at the beginning of the 19th century, to Knole.
The Orangery may have been planned as a gallery for the display of Classical sculptures as well as plants. An extensive collection of bas-reliefs, inscriptions and sculpture, both antique marble pieces and much later plaster casts, is fixed to the interior walls of the Orangery and may have been part of Cope and Whitworth’s original presentation of the building. They are mentioned in John Brady’s 1839 The Visitors Guide to Knole and may have been sourced from the Continent specifically for display here. Photographs reveal that by the mid-20th century the Orangery was used for the storage of other kinds of objects too. A black and white photo from 1945 shows the three-tiered Buzaglo stove, which dates to 1774 and previously stood in the Great Hall, had been moved to the Orangery. Before it was opened to the public in 2010, the Orangery was used for garden storage.
Pitmedden House & Gardens, Aberdeenshire.
The National Trust for Scotland.
The Trust accepted the property from Major James Keith in 1952 and recreated the parterres under the direction of Dr JS Richardson in 1956-58.
The Great Garden dates back to 1675 when it was originally laid out by Sir Alexander Seton, a retired Court of Session judge in the reign of James VII/II. His head gardener had designed gardens at the Palace of Holyroodhouse in Edinburgh and was similarly influenced by the French Palace of Versailles. In the 1950s Pitmedden was gifted to the Trust who re-created the garden based on 17th-century plans after it was ploughed up to grow vegetables during the Second World War and used as a kitchen garden for over 100 years.

Early-mid C19.
C listed.
The Museum of Farming Life displays a collection of 19th and 20th century farming implements presented to the Trust in 1977 by the trustees of William Cook of Little Meldrum, Tarves, as well as information on Major James Keith, chairman of the North of Scotland College of Agriculture, who was a keen agricultural improver. Together with other family members, James Keith took over a number of farms in Norfolk during the 1930s and 1940s, finally owning in excess of 10,000 acres. He was the author, in 1954, of a successful publication, Fifty Years of Farming.

I'm having fun with shapes and shadows here, trusting that fun is enough in this moment. Here's my dog's paw, resting in complete trust next to me. It's taken a few months to get here; she was so afraid of everything when we got her.

Kedleston Hall, Derbyshire, 1758-65.
The National Trust.
By Matthew Brettingham (1699-1769), James Paine (1717-1789) & Robert Adam (1728-1792).
Interiors complete by the 1780s.
For Nathaniel Curzon, 1st Baron Scarsdale (1726-1804).
Grade l listed.
The Saloon.
The Saloon is one of the grandest rooms in the house. Modelled on the Pantheon in Rome, it is a domed rotunda with four alcoves symmetrically positioned around the walls. In each alcove is a cast iron stove (for heating) designed to resemble a Roman altar, added in the late 1780s. The chairs lining the walls were designed to fit the curved space by John Linnell (1729-1796).
Kedleston Hall is an extravagant temple to the arts. Commissioned in the 1750s by Nathaniel Curzon whose ancestors had resided at Kedleston since the 12th century. The house is framed by historic parkland and boasts opulent interiors intended to impress.
Designed for lavish entertaining, Kedleston Hall displays an extensive collection of paintings, sculpture and original furnishings, reflecting both the tastes of its creators and their fascination with the classical world of the Roman Empire.
Inherited by George Nathaniel Curzon, Viceroy of India between 1899 and 1905, the hall also houses the many objects he amassed during his travels in South Asia and the Middle East, and in his role leading British rule in India.
