Calke Abbey, Derbyshire.
The National Trust.
Portrait of a Young Girl.
Watercolour, late c19.
--------------------------------------------------
With peeling paintwork and overgrown courtyards, Calke Abbey tells the story of the dramatic decline of a country house estate. The house and stables are little restored, with many abandoned areas vividly portraying a period in the 20th century when numerous country houses did not survive to tell their story.
The site was an Augustinian priory from the 12th century until its dissolution by Henry VIII. The present building, named Calke Abbey in 1808, was never actually an abbey, but is a Baroque mansion built between 1701 and 1704.
The house was owned by the Harpur family for nearly 300 years until it was passed to the National Trust in 1985 in lieu of death duties. Today, the house is open to the public and many of its rooms are deliberately displayed in the state of decline in which the house was handed to the Trust.
When I walk around stately homes, I find it easy to be overwhelmed by all the treasures and so much passes me by. So on this occasion I made a point of looking for details of craftmanship. This image is taken from the fire grate in the great hearth of the marble entrance hall. There is a demonstration by a silversmith currently being held at Kedleston and it made me think that the skills used generations ago are still being perpetuated.
On Sunday we visited a National Trust building call Oxburgh Hall with some friends. It is described as a romantic, moated manor house built by the Bedingfield family in the 15th century. This is an image of a mirror within one of the reception rooms which caught my eye

The garden team consists of the Head Gardener, Assistant Head Gardener and four full-time gardeners, aided by two National Trust trainees, a college placement and many volunteers.
Their aim is to present this natural paradise at its best to the 350,000 annual visitors, whilst also caring for the walled gardens and greenhouses near Stourhead House. Their challenge is to balance the needs of visitors with those of conservation.
Once again I had the chance to work with The TRUST South LA on a Metro Los Angeles outreach to folks who ride the Blue Line train from Downtown LA to Downtown Long Beach.
I was very curious why he would be spreading the message during the 4th of July...
I did not go ask him .... If he ever sees this picture please feel free to tell me why.

Hi everyone,
Thank you all for coming to the Verge Task. You did an amazing job and Bernard said it’s the most he remembers getting done there in one day!
I hope you all enjoyed it.
I believe you may be back at Ampthill Park on March 6th, so I hope to see you then!
Thanks again.Yours, Jamie Proud
Tim Spencer
Dear All,
I understand from Jamie that the task at the Ampthill Verge went well on Tuesday – thank you all for your hard work.
In a change from the published task schedule (yes another!), next Tuesday’s task (27th February) will be at Maulden Heath; meet at the Picnic Area at 10am.
Have a good weekend,
Tim Spencer
Hi all
Apologies for oversleeping the preceding week at Maulden Heath.
We had an excellent day at Ampthill Park despite the dull greyness most of the time with a few patches of sun in the last quarter. We did miss the usual cakes and donuts but I think I did see Messrs Clarke & Moffatt with a packet of Jaffa Cakes.
I was amazed at how much was cleared this time but it had helped that Jamie had cut the bank top for the full length of the reserve.
Not much wildlife to see through the smoke of Jane's slow to start fire but there were some nice lichens and while I was inspecting the NZ Pymy Weed Clearance and the hedge and ditchwork carried out on separate tasks I managed to snap a Great Spotted Woodpecker who was contemplating on a bough a little above me.

On the news front I spoke to Colin A and he has to have an op at Papworth at sometime to be determined but he sends you all a big hellow that I am passing on.
Similarly Audrey B is a bit under the weather at the moment but is keeping wrapped up warm and cosy (and as always busy).
See you all on Tuesday. Wrap up warm.
