Sudeley Castle and Bourton House Garden

I am in the Cotswolds for a few days..... 

First stop Sudeley Castle. It has a fine garden. The castle is 15th century was slighted during the civil war and restored in the 19th century

The church is the resting place of Catherine (spelt with a K if you wish) Parr sixth wife of Henry VIII who lived at Sudeley after he died. She is the only queen buried at a private residence.

I believe this is part of a trail.... 

When I have my book....

I wandered to Bourton House Garden which is near my pub and a favourite of mine

I had lamented the TOTAL lack of butterflies all day when in the car park feeding on flowers growing on the wall.... a painted lady... sorry Ragged Robin ;)
