13 August 2010 - Montacute House

A bit of a grey day. The house from the southern lawns.

The restriction on taking photographs within the property has been partially  removed. Photography is now allowed provided flash is not used and you are not allowed to photograph any of the paintings. This is one of the many stained glass windows.

One of the library windows.

A closer look at one of the panels in another window showing a date of 1598.

A 1770 etching in latin on one of the library windows.

The long gallery on the top floor of the house. The five rooms off the gallery house a collection of Tudor and Jacobean portraits on loan from the National Portrait Gallery.

One of the pudding houses.
