A visit to Hardwick Hall in Derbyshire (a National Trust property). An amazing array of tapestries, paintings and furniture. We also managed to fit in a 3 mile walk around the grounds. #nationaltrust #hardwickhall #architecture #history #walks #photography

A captivating corner of Hardwick Hall Country Park, taken on the May Bank Holiday weekend just over a week ago.
It's a view that looks almost timeless, except that it is part of an entirely man-made landscape dating from the 18th century.
It was a wealthy businessman from Tyneside named John Burdon, who developed the grounds, creating a 17-acre ornamental lake by adding an artificial river leading to it and encircling it with a walkway.

Grumpy Henry VIII

He was supposed to be a massive knob head; do you think this artist caught his best side?

A fabulous marquetry table with musical motifs (manuscripts and instruments), board games - backgammon, chequers - and playing cards.

I have just discovered that Thomas Hobbes is buried in Ault Hucknall Church, somewhere I have cycled by many times. He knew Ben Johnson and Galileo.
The 17th Century was a connected world.
