Elton Hall

Romantic, part Gothic house set in glorious landscaped gardens and unspoiled parkland. Proby family home since 1660. Open days, weddings and events.

Clever architecture or clever photography? Has anyone visited this spot? https://t.co/76fwGGpGxB

Friday Flower. Pear blossom. This busy little soul was happily pollinating the blossom yesterday. We had a bumper crop last year so hopefully he's ensuring the same for this year. https://t.co/YgyLTvBwVQ

Monday Monument. Look beyond the sparkling clear water of the fountain and high on the scaffolding to left, the stonemasons can just about be seen working at the top of the Big Tower https://t.co/FFaYAhlahQ

Monday Monument. Some of the new stones numbered and set out at ground level ready to be carried up the long, long ladders to the top. The masons certainly need a head for heights.

Happy Mothering Sunday. We thought we would share a few more images of the flowers coming to life in the gardens to lift the spirits of those feeling the loss of an hour's sleep.

Friday Flower. Our magnolia is blooming against the South Front and so glorious it fills the photograph completely. Do you have a magnolia flowering in your garden?

Wednesday Wander took us out to the Parkland where there are some new visitors. Spring has sprung!

Monday Monument. Up on the tower, stones have been removed from the parapet, as you can see from the before and after images. They are laid out and numbered, so they can be reused where possible.

Friday Flowers. The glorious weather we had this week has brought the Elton Hall gardens to life.

Monday Monument. Another one of those "monumental" tasks underway today. In a bright (and very noisy!) arboretum, Matt was busy clearing dead trees.

Tuesday Treat. We have had so many cold starts lately that we could not resist sharing some frosty images.

Tuesday Tree. Before and after pruning of the pleached Lime trees along the wall between the gardens and the Estate Yard.

Tuesday Tree. Scarcely a leaf left in the arboretum and they have all ended up in one of our several compost heaps!

Friday Flower. Just when we thought there was not a bloom in sight, look what is shining out under the trees - winter aconites.

Friday Fact. All Saint's Church, Elton is the resting place of many Proby family ancestors. A busy time for them as Christmas approaches, starting with a coffee morning on Saturday. Indeed, throughout Elton all... https://t.co/EUAdpPnOgH

Tuesday Tree. Hawthorns out in the Parkland are providing lots of food for our feathered friends.

Monday Monument. You may have strolled down the long walk but did you pause to notice the carving on the stone bench?
