Still we met at Castle Howard. The house was designed by John Vanburgh and is most famous nowaday as the setting for Brideshead Revisited.
The wall garden is very attractive.

Brideshead Revisited
I had arranged to meet Diane and Keith today and the weather decided not to play ball! It rained!! Virtually all day. Rats!!

A modern garden
It's a much nicer today temperature wise.
First off to the ruins of Kirkham Priory.
It looks odd to see a fragment of what must have been a magnificent church.
773 St Peter, Wintringham
Then onto Scampson Hall
The Walled Garden was designed by Piet Oudolf. I have to admit to being a little underwhelmed, maybe it needs to age.
The hall is small but contains 6 Gainsborough's. We got a welcome from the owner Sir Charles Legard.
Tomorrow I should have some pics inside and out of one of England's very finest houses.
