Great Chalfield Manor

We visited the gardens of this late medieval manor house and church last week and were pleasantly surprised that there was plenty of late summer colour in the flowerbeds and borders.  There was so much to take in and I took loads of photos.  We did, however, find a quiet, sheltered spot for our picnic lunch so I made time for a very quick pen sketch, with colour added later at home.

Guided tours of the house were by timed ticket but we missed out as we spent so much time exploring outside - an excuse to make another trip, perhaps in the spring.
