Berrington Hall

Berrington Hall is a georgian manor house with apparently Capability Brown's last landscape design. 

Thankfully it wasn't as hot today. It may well have been but the cloud cover made it more bearable. I hadn't meant to spend all day there but I was into my book so just "toodled" about. 

Plenty of Lambs about. Always good to see!








I wandered down to the lake






There were quite a few mallard broods! 












This is John Cawley who died in WWII in 1943. The painting was completed after his death as a memorial. The hall was given to the NT in lieu of death duties in 1957. His mother continued to live there until her death in 1978 aged 100.








I wonder how many women would want to wear that! 















Another Coronation Scone.


There was once a flower garden here (I believe it was turned to crop production during WWII). The trust are now creating a new flower garden.
















A pleasant day! Tomorrow something different!
