Today I went to the Brockhampton Estate and in particular the late 14th century moated Manor House of Lower Brockhampton. The gatehouse is relatively recent being around 1540! The estate was gifted to the Trust in 1946 by John Lutley whose family had owned it for 20 generations.
The house had been tenanted until recently.
Not a bad approach!
Want a lovely combination
This is a working estate
The old chapel
Some old farming implements
The gate house
The house
The bottom gun is a poachers gun....... bit like a man trap!
There are lots of estate walks but the sun was out and warm and I sat and read!
Lovely day....tomorrow? the Cotswolds!

Looks so picturesque and idyllic. Have driven past the entrance to it several times on my way to the black and white villages and so wished I had had time to visit. Lovely photos of the Red Admiral and Dragonfly :)
