I had churches on my agenda but a closed road kyboshed that and I headed straight to Beningbrough Hall
Scone
The house has no photos.... this is I assume because it is has a number of pictures on loan from the National Portrait Gallery..
Anyway I decided to head towards my hotel and the further north I went the rain came ..... I was still a little early so I headed to Rievaulx Terrace. Built by Thomas Duncome of Duncombe Park. It overlooks the ruins of Rievaulx Abbey which would be more picturesque if it wasn't raining!!
There was a sculpture trail.... so off I set
The temple was used as a dining room!! with a kitchen below. It is beautifully decorated.
Anyone care to work out what the title is from ;)
The pub has no mobile reception and the wifi is in the lounge......

A short story by Isaac Asimov! You won't be surprised to know I have some of his books!! What's the unexpected assignment then?
Lovely post Pete - love the hall and gardens and the sculptures. Particularly like the one of the lady with her eyes closed and a butterfly (a peacock?).
Do hope the weather improves.
