Kingston Lacy House ~ 1

Kingston Lacy House ~ 1
Built in 1663-65. Home to the Bankes family for more than 300 years, Kingston Lacy is an elegant mansion of sumptuous interiors filled with the oldest established gentry collection of paintings in Britain. Traceable back to lists compiled in 1650s, the collection includes works by Rubens, Van Dyck, Titian and Tintoretto, with the largest private collection of Egyptian artefacts in the UK. The magnificent family library, one of the Trust's largest early collections includes roughly 1450 pre-1801 books, including the magnificent Jean de Planche binding for Sir Nicholas Bacon (1510-79) which is one of the Trust's most iconic books.

You've captured this beautiful house in terrific detail Rosa and it looks wonderful under the blue-grey sky. The Union Flag really catches the eye! A cracking shot..!!

I let our NT membership lapse when I retired and I was trying to sort out our finances etc. At the time it was an expense I could do without. I regret it now and so I think I'll have to renew it. I blame you and your photos :-))

Rosalyn Hilborne club has replied to Keith Burton club
This was taken as we were leaving Keith, and as you see from the sky and flag, the weather was changing!

I have only just rejoined the NT after an absence of 3 years. It actually gets you out and about on a weekend especially. Maybe going a little further than normal, but all the properties have so many extra things going on nowadays that it is really worthwhile, and after only 3 visits you get your money back, so to speak.

Thank you for all your great comments....I don't mind being blamed ;-))

I didn't go inside this time Tanja, but I have been in there before. I will again on another trip, but I particularly wanted a good walk in the surrounding gardens and woods...I felt I needed the exercise! Thank you so much for all your kind comments.
