Harlaxton Manor (@harlaxton_college) in Grantham, Lincolnshire, is a building that takes its inspiration from the country houses of #Elizabethan #England. In 1831, the #architect Anthony Salvin was commissioned by Gregory Gregory to build his new Manor house, with work commencing in 1832. But, by 1838, building work at Harlaxton was in the hands of the architect William Burn to whom the service wings and courtyards, with their distinctive #Tudor arches, may be attributable. Both architects were, however, subject to the overarching vision of their client. John Claudius Loudon, on visiting Harlaxton in 1840, concluded that Gregory had entered “so completely into both the design and the practical details of execution he may be said to have embodied himself in the edifice”. This is remarkable in itself, but what makes Harlaxton unique was his brilliant idea “that Elizabethan and Jacobean could be fused with #Baroque”. This idea is what elevates Harlaxton from the remarkable to the sensational. #Harlaxton Manor is a member of Historic Houses. #historichouses represents the UK’s largest collection of independently owned #historic #houses, #castle, #hall, #manor and #gardens.

I’m a sucker for an old house with a yellow door and a magnolia tree. One from a family walk from Putney Bridge down to Barnes today, along the Thames Path. When I first met my now-husband he was living in a flat in Putney but it’s a part of London I don’t visit often enough these days and today was the perfect day for it. ✨ Hope you’ve all had a lovely weekend! . . #historichouses #deservetopreserve #historicpreservation #oldhouselove #oldhousecharm #magnoliagrandiflora

Now that summer has finally arrived in England, the combination of warmth and sun is letting our beautiful buildings and gardens shine. The 18th century Orangery really comes into its own on days like these, and has been playing host to families and wedding parties with lots of room to entertain. It’s a magical setting. #framptoncourt #orangery #theorangery #ornamentalgarden #georgianarchitecture

Yarnton Manor (@yarntonmanor) is a 17th Century Manor House, built in 1611 by the wealthy Spencer family. Its long and fascinating history has left an indelible mark on the fabric of the building. The estate has changed hands several times over the centuries, with each successive custodian contributing to its story. Now Grade II* listed in recognition of its special historic interest, much of what survives is original, or restored sympathetically at the close of the 19th Century. The Manor has been entertaining and inspiring visitors for centuries and it’s easy to see why: surrounded by beautiful landscaped gardens and agricultural land, Yarnton Manor’s setting could hardly be more picturesque. During the English Civil War, the Manor was used as a Royalist military hospital; 40 or so soldiers were buried in the adjoining churchyard between 1643 and 1645. #Yarnton Manor is a member of Historic Houses. #historichouses represents the UK’s largest collection of independently owned #historic #houses, #castle, #hall, #manor and #gardens.
