Calke Abbey, Derbyshire.
Spent most of the day at this former stately home now in the hands of the National Trust. Beautiful house standing in the midst of a huge estate and gardens.
Fascinating insight into the world of the aristocratic/ genteel poor.
The Harpur-Crewe family gave the house to the nation in lieu of outstanding death duties due to the Treasury of some £8millions.
