Sheringham Park, Norfolk.
The National Trust.
The Temple, 1975.
Here, 700m south-east of the Hall, stands a temple, erected in 1975 following a design by Humphry Repton which was intended for another high point in the park but was never built.
This stone was laid by John, Thirteenth Duke of Bedford, for Thomas Upcher Esquire, on October 19th 1975.
Although no park existed at Sheringham before Repton was called in to advise, the owner of the Sheringham estate during the late C18, Cook Flower, began the creation of the landscape which exists today by planting extensive woods on the hilltops and leaving the undulating land beneath to undivided arable. The estate was purchased in 1811 by Abbot Upcher who immediately commissioned Humphry Repton (1752-1818), and his architect son John Adey Repton (1775-1860), to design a new house, to be known as Sheringham Bower, as a replacement for the old house which stood on a different site some 600m to the east. It took Upcher and the Reptons until 1813 to agree on the new site and to begin the work, which included a terrace garden on the north side of the house. The building of the house and the laying out of the park and garden ran concurrently and were all largely, but not entirely complete by 1817. Abbot Upcher died in 1819 and his wife left the house unfinished and empty. It was her son Henry Ramey Upcher who completed the work and took up residence in 1839 and the landscape continued to develop according to Repton's principles. A collection of rhododendrons was started in the woodlands in the 1850s. Henry Morris Upcher succeeded to the estate in 1892 and added further to the rhododendron collections with seed supplied by the plant collector Ernest Wilson. Henry Edward Sparke (later Sir Henry) Upcher inherited after the First World War and continued to farm the estate until after the Second World War. His son Thomas succeeded in 1954, further improving the plant collections and erecting a temple in the park. The property was given to the National Trust by the Upcher family in 1987.

Interiors complete by the 1780s.

Caesars' Hall.
This lower entrance hall was often used for estate staff parties, local people and tradesmen, as well as being the normal entrance for the family to get to their domestic wing of the property.
Fireplace.
The fireplaces in Caesars' Hall were designed more for aesthetic purposes than practical ones for the heating was through the use of floor vents and grills. The fireplaces were carved by a local Derby mason, George Moneypenny, and designed by Robert Adam's previous draughtsman George Richardson.
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.

Belton House, Lincolnshire, 1685-88.
The National Trust.
The Saloon.
Side Table, c1880.
One of a pair of giltwood and marble side tables, English, probably constructed late 19th century incorporating some earlier mid 18th century elements.
Each with a grey marble rectangular top above a Vitruvian scroll frieze and held by a central eagle with wings spread and flanked by double S scroll tapering brackets. The eagle standing on a spreading plinth with applied anthemion and leaf scroll decoration.
The Borghese Gladiator.
Bronze on black marble base.
French or Italian, late 18th or 19th century.
A bronze statuette of a warrior in combat, mounted on a rectangular black marble base. After The Borghese Gladiator, a Hellenistic sculpture formerly in the Borghese collection and later acquired for The Louvre. The figure lunges forward, with his left arm thrust in the air, raising a round shield embossed with the head of Medusa. His right arm, sword in hand, thrusts backwards. The blade of the sword is missing but its handle is rendered in the shape of an eagle’s head. The head, torso, arms and legs have been sleeve joined.
Copies of The Borghese Gladiator proliferated within twenty years of the Ephesus marble being discovered at Nettuno in 1611. Charles I acquired a mould of it and commissioned Hubert le Seur to cast a bronze in 1629-30. Placed in the Privy Garden at St James’ Palace, le Seur’s bronze raised the profile of the sculpture and soon after casts began to appear in country houses across the country. A plaster cast was also sent by Velázquez to Philip IV of Spain.

The deer were not in evidence much this day, some rutting stags could be seen in the distance in other parts of the deer park. The Wrekin is in the background.
A working estate still guided by the seasons, with an impressive mansion, parkland, gardens and Home Farm
Over the centuries, Wimpole has been owned by several families, and each has left its mark.
The present house, at the heart of this estate, was the vision of Elsie Bambridge. Wimpole had been an empty shell until she filled it with pictures and furniture, bringing it back to a welcoming home in the 1930s.
Intimate rooms contrast with beautiful and unexpected Georgian interiors, including Soane's remarkable Yellow Drawing Room.

The National Trust is a heritage and nature conservation charity and membership organisation in England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
The Trust was founded in 1895 by Octavia Hill, Sir Robert Hunter and Hardwicke Rawnsley to "promote the permanent preservation for the benefit of the Nation of lands and tenements (including buildings) of beauty or historic interest". It has since been given statutory powers, starting with the National Trust Act 1907. Historically, the Trust acquired land by gift and sometimes by public subscription and appeal, but after World War II the loss of country houses resulted in many such properties being acquired either by gift from the former owners or through the National Land Fund.
One of the largest landowners in the United Kingdom, the Trust owns almost 250,000 hectares (620,000 acres; 2,500 km2; 970 sq mi) of land and 780 miles (1,260 km) of coast. Its properties include more than 500 historic houses, castles, archaeological and industrial monuments, gardens, parks, and nature reserves. Most properties are open to the public for a charge (members have free entry), while open spaces are free to all. The Trust had an annual income of nearly £724 million in 2023/24, largely from membership subscriptions, donations and legacies, direct property income, profits from its shops and restaurants, and investments. It also receives grants from a variety of organisations including other charities, government departments, local authorities, and the National Lottery Heritage Fund.

The Workhouse, Upton Road, Southwell, Nottinghamshire, 1824.
Built as Thurgarton Hundred Incorporated Workhouse in 1824, becoming Southwell Union Workhouse in 1836.
Grade ll* listed.

Health at Home.
The Crimean War exposed Nightingale to the awful suffering caused by contagious diseases and inattention to hygiene. The widely accepted theory of anti-contagionism explained the cause of disease in terms of the filth and odours found in dirty hospitals and homes.
This Workhouse survives as the least altered example of its kind in existence today. Built in 1824, it served as one of many prototypes for the New Poor Law of 1834 that saw thousands of workhouses built across the country. The moving spirit behind the project was Revd. J.T. Becher (1769-1848), a noted social reformer. He set out his ideas and strategy to manage the poor in a pamphlet called the Anti-Pauper System. Becher's system was an economic measure (to reduce tax) and a moral crusade (to teach the poor to ask for help only as a last resort.) The help offered was accommodation in the dreaded workhouse, where discipline was exacting, living standards basic and supervision constant. Paupers were divided into men, women, children, vagrants and the sick. Visitors can explore the segregated work yards, dayrooms, dormitories, Master's quarters and cellars and learn about life in The Workhouse.
The Southwell Workhouse site is roughly square in design, with a three-storey accommodation block cutting through the centre and courtyards either side, and the whole enclosed within walls. One half of the building was used by women, the other by men. The central core of the building housed the staff and children, ensuring that all classes of inmate were kept separate.
