The Many Faces of Christmas Day!

For #PalacesAndGardens theme of #PalacePicks

A 3 x 3 collage of various wood carvings of characterful faces, taken at three properties: Speke Hall, Liverpool (Tudor) Lyme Park, Cheshire (Elizabethan) Samlesbury Hall, Lancashire (Tudor) All in dark wood and most taken from a partial side angle so the light illuminates the features. Makes me think of the various expressions seen on Christmas Day including someone worse for wear from festive booze (middle bottom), the poker face of irritation of the chef (middle top) and the furiousness of overtired kids (or adults!) as the day progresses (bottom right).

The Finery of Lady Newton
for #PalacesAndGardens theme of #RedGreenGold

#EastCoastKin #photography #LymePark #Cheshire #fineart #Baccani #C19th #history
(Android phone camera)
Photograph taken of a huge painting by Attilio Baccani (1867) of the very beautiful Emily Jane Wodehouse, Lady Newton. She is dressed in a deep green velvet dress with cream lace edging and a red rose at her chest. She has stunning auburn hair and pale skin. The painting has an ornate gold frame and is hung on a tomato-red wall. Would like to have found some fascinating facts about her as a woman in her own right, but all I could locate was her breeding tally of five children. I would like to think she had a dry wit, played a mean hand of cards and could canter on a horse faster than anyone in Cheshire. The painting hangs at Lyme Park in Cheshire. A wonderful day out for the gardens, architecture and Mr Darcy fans. Expertly run by The National Trust.

Photograph of an empty, circular, multi-level water fountain with a cherub on top, in the orangery of Lyme Park, Cheshire. The floor is a beautiful historic tiles and the back wall whitewashed, with an array of plants growing. If it was mine, I'd have spent hours in a comfy chair in there reading!

Composite Columns
for #PalacesAndGardens theme of #Facade

#EastCoastKin #photography #Cheshire #LymePark #bluesky #MrDarcy #Pemberley #lookup #architecture #classical #stone #remodelled #grandeur
(iPhone camera)
Stone facade of Lyme Park in Cheshire. Lots of architectural features including composite columns (scrolls of ionic fame with a little but of fancy Corinthian thrown in). The house is Tudor and Elizabethan at its heart. However, in the C18th, its facades were remodelled by Italian architect Giacomo Leoni in a classical style. Photograph taken looking up at an angle so the pediment at the top looks almost flat (it isn't in reality). Blue sky behind. Lyme Park is run very well by the National Trust. Great day out, especially if you're into architecture, interiors, Pride and Prejudice or beautiful grounds.

The Cage at Lyme Park, Cheshire. A Tudor-era hunting lodge, subsequently remodelled. Not a large building, but somehow visible for miles around.

(iPhone camera)
Photograph taken sneaking my phone through the gap of a small open window in one of the top rooms of Lyme Park in Cheshire. A statue of Artemis, Goddess of the Hunt, arm round a stag, surveys her domain of neatly mown lawns, ornamental trees and wooded hills beyond. Blue sky with white clouds overhead. The top stone walls and balustrades of the house below her. Lyme Park in Cheshire is run by the National Trust and well worth a visit.

There was hardly enough water in the lake for Mr Darcy to get his ankles wet!

Photograph taken at Lyme Park, Cheshire. Two visitors dressed in full costume walk down a corridor illuminated by the windows on the left. Corridor has a tall ceiling, red walls, large oil paintings, patterned rugs underfoot and a beautiful chest of drawers to the side. The man's costume includes a cane and at odds, a modern backpack. The woman is in blue with a bonnet.

At Lyme Park, successive elevations reveal how masons responded to available building stone.
The Milnrow Sandstone of the north front is shallow and brick-like, contrasting with later deeper ashlar courses by Giacomo Leoni.

Little Cherub

Photograph taken of the empty stone water fountain in the orangery at Lyme Park, Cheshire (of Mr Darcy striding soggily from the lake fame). A fern in sharp focus takes the top right corner to the centre putting everything else into soft focus. Fountain as a large bowl at the bottom with a smaller decorative bowl above with a cherub figure standing in the middle. Glass roof overhead and plants growing up the wall. Mr Darcy wasn't at home much to the disappointment of the Jane Austen fans swarming about the place in costume from the fancy dress room (I kid you not), and my mother.

Today, Lyme Park, aka 1995 Pemberley. Another lovely home and grounds. This one had a small pic of my fave Mr. Darcy. And I might have bought a mug. And a magnet. Of Mr. Darcy. 😬🥰
Those roundabouts still have me 😫, but the views are 😍
