21 June 2008 - Montacute House

A midsummer’s day visit to Montacute House. The weather was grey and drizzly.

The eastern facing aspect of the House. Montacute was built in the last years of the 16th-century by Sir Edward Phelips. Follow this link to the NT site for more details.

A longer shot from the formal gardens on the northern side of the house.

The northern courtyard.

A view from the driveway.

I think is the most famous aspect of the house taken from the field to the west of the house.

A more detailed look at some of the small statues on the side of the house.
