Stately Homes and National Trust Houses

These are some of the Stately Homes, National Trust, English Heritage properties and Private Gardens in Staffordshire,Cheshire,Derbyshire,Yorkshire,Herefordshire and Warwickshire.
Unfortunately, the National Trust does not allow photographs to be taken inside their properties so I am unable to bring to you the splendour of some of these houses......EDIT: with effect from 2011 you can now take internal photographs of some National Trust properties subject to the agreement of the Property Manager.
If you like this Gallery, or an image, then please vote for it at the bottom of the page.....Thank You.

What wonderful photos! I particularly love your shots of Biddulph Grange's gardens, Fountain Abbey and the interiors at Castle Howard. Now I can put these on my list of "must see's" when I make it to England.

Thank you for your wonderful website. I'm just printing out my pictures now from my trip to England 2 years ago, and have forgotten most of the properties I've photographed. Your website helped my identify them; thanks again!

This is like getting to go on a very complete tour of some of the most beautiful houses and gardens in Great Britain. Thanks for sharing ~V~

Great gallery with some excellent images of some of the most picturesque and architecturally significant country houses in England. Fine work. "V"

This brings back memories, David...I've always loved Britain, and especially the old architecture. Splendid captures and beautiful gallery!
Jenny :)

I enjoyed looking at this gallery very much. You took some beautiful shots of some great houses. I visited most of the houses pictured in your gallery when I lived in Sale, Cheshire in the mid 80's. Unfortunately, there were no digital camreas back thenm. Thanks for bringing back fond meories.

Kind Regards, Walter

Beautiful work. This is a reflection of my view of England. Modern achitecture cannot
compete with these works.
Margaret Dowell 05-Nov-2005 12:18
Thank you I was a nuse at Biddulph Grange 1949 I have great memories. I remmber which room I shared in the grange itself wjhich was the nurses home then. The gardens were wll looked after at that time. I have been back recently so pleased that the National Trust has them. I wonder what has happened to the Grange itself.

Beautiful gallery - you've got some lovely pictures of some amazing places.

Great gallery David, how the heck can you get all these wonderfull pictures without people in the frame.
Jude Marion19-Dec-2004 17:31
This is a lovely architecutral collection. Fabulous houses, and so nicely captured!
Bernadette 18-Jan-2004 17:25
I forgot to add that, from an art teacher's perspective, your work shows strong compositional skills. It's all there; good use of line, form, colour,texture. Focal points are well defined.
Bernadette 18-Jan-2004 17:22
You have no idea how happy I was to see these photos. I used to live in Chester, and yet never visited Moreton Hall!Looking out at the snow of a Canadian winter, it is great to be transported back to England through the magic of the internet. Thank you.
