We visited the UK National Trust site, Sutton Hoo, to find out more about the anglo saxon burial mounds that were discovered there in the 1930's.
The experience was fantastic!
There were some excellent walks/trails to take, and there was also the house, owned by Mrs Pretty - Tranmer House - at the time of discoveries, to explore too.
The photos in this album show the artifacts, the royal burial exhibition and the surrounding coutryside.
If you enjoy historical stuff then this is one worth adding to your list to explore. You can find out more here… www.nationaltrust.org.uk/sutton-hoo/
Feel free to comment on the photos if you wish to.
In recent years much of the badly eroded bare peat has been revegetated by National Trust projects funded through Moors for the Future. Here a wet bare patch survives north of the Rochdale Road.
An afternoon visit in Oxfordshire to the National Trust property of Buscot Park.
Buscot Park is a country house at Buscot near the town of Faringdon in Oxfordshire within the historic boundaries of Berkshire. It is a Grade II* listed building.
It was built in an austere neoclassical style between 1780 and 1783 for Edward Loveden Loveden. It remained in the family until sold in 1859 to Robert Tertius Campbell, an Australian. Campbell's daughter Florence would later be famous as Mrs Charles Bravo, the central character in a Victorian murder case that remains unsolved to this day. On Campbell's death, in 1887, the house and its estate were sold to Alexander Henderson a financier, later to be ennobled as Baron Faringdon.
Following the death of the 1st Baron in 1934, the house was considerably altered and restored to its 18th-century form, by the architect Geddes Hyslop, for his grandson and successor, Gavin Henderson, 2nd Baron Faringdon, during this era, the art collection founded by the 1st Baron was considerably enlarged, although many of the 1st Baron's 19th-century works of art were sold immediately following his death.
The house and estate was bequeathed to the National Trust in 1956. The contents (which include works of art by Rembrandt and Burne-Jones) are owned by the Faringdon Collection Trust. The house is occupied and managed by the present Lord Faringdon. The mansion and its extensive formal and informal gardens and grounds are open to the public each summer.
