Day 149 of 366 - Baddesley Clinton Manor House!

Today's photo was taken this afternoon at the Baddesley Clinton National Trust estate in Warwickshire. The view is of the Baddesley Clinton moated Manor House. This Grade I listed building dates back to the 15th Century. Although I was told today that a small part of the building actually dates back to the 13th Century when part of the local forest was cleared to make way for farmland. The manor was originally bought by John Brome in 1438. He passed the manor onto his Son Nicholas who is said to have killed the local Parish priest in the main house. Nicholas Brome was responsible for major rebuilding of the local parish church of St Michael as penance for the murder. After the death of Nicholas the property passed to his daughter who was married to Sir Edward Ferrers who was the High Sheriff of Warwickshire. The Manor House and estates remained in the Ferrers family for the over 500 years. The Manor House and estate was sold to the National Trust in 1980. It is still managed and operated by the Trust. This is my first visit to the property which is the nearest National trust building to where I live. Today was the first day of my Annual membership so I will be back there really soon as there is a lot of great photo opportunities around the estate.

The photo was taken using the app Camera Awesome on my iPhone 6.

First I used Lightroom mobile to edit the picture. I cropped and straightened the image then I added the Dynamic Colour preset. I also changed the white balance and applied some of the Dehaze feature. Next I used the app Brushstroke to add the Simple S3 paint preset. Finally I used PhotoToaster to add the Contrast preset, the vibrant FX, a medium dark Vignette. I then added the Stucco texture and the Burlap frame.
