Sawston Hall

Last weekend I was lucky enough to get into Sawston Hall and it's grounds (it's not open to the public) to take some pictures. The hall is currently being renovated.

Here are some of my pictures (I took almost 200 so I am still editing....)

Starting from the inside:

Fireplace in the Grand Hall


Fireplace in one of the bedrooms


The roof above the spiral stair case leading onto the third floor


The beautiful spiral stair case

Chimney pots galore

I love those chimney pots, they are like works of art themselves.




A painted coat of arms wall plaque on the front of the house

Another coat of arms above the grand entrance at the side.

A wall plaque on the side of the house leading to an out building


One of the rosettes that are dotted around the outside walls of the house


The grand entrance on the side of the house with the coat of arms above it


Tempus Edax Reum - Time, devourer of all things

This is one of my favourite pictures (heavily edited), a sun dial on the side of the house.



The roofs of the house seen from the grounds peeping out above the trees

Part of the house seen from the grounds in the back

Part of the house seen from the side

The grand entrance is to the left of this part of the house.


Beautiful tree in the grounds at the back


Half dead tree in the grounds to the side

Little bridge over a brook in the grounds

Red leaves on green



Pond reflections


Some of these photos I will use as reference pictures, others will go on RedBubble and will be available as prints. If you like one of them in particular, let me know and I'll add it to my images on RedBubble.
