wimpole estate

Yesterday we visited Wimpole Estate, in Cambridgeshire. The hall has far reaching views across the countryside, and is beautiful inside, with a striking yellow drawing room designed by Sir John Soane. The gardens are meandering with plenty of space to explore, and there is also a rare breeds farm on the estate.

standen house, sussex

On Saturday, we visited Standen House in Sussex. The house was designed by architect Philip Webb, a friend of William Morris. The house is full of arts and crafts gems, including plenty of Morris & Co wallpaper, tapestry and furniture.

Yesterday we visited Hughenden Manor, the home of Victorian Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli. There were some great colours and textures, I loved the wallpaper!
