Bank Holiday Monday Trip

[debris4spike]

As I have already posted, on the Easter Bank Holiday Monday I collected Christine and we went to Antony House which is at Torpoint in Cornwall.

Although it was very overcast from tome to time, we were again very lucky with the weather - so had a lovely day out

Enjoy












The Carew family colours from the English Civil War



18th century painting that shows one of the first images of cricket.













Probably the oldest piece of furniture, that pre-dates this building.





Well hope you enjoyed your wander through the house

Wow. Quite a place!

We are so lucky, living in England ... history & beauty (even though there are a lot of people who never explore)

Lovely - what a great place to visit.

The Carew colours made me do a double take - at first sight they appeared to be a curtain with a row of very large spiders climbing up it!

It was a lovely day - and fascinating

I didn't spot the "spiders" but thought it looked in pretty good condition, so wondered how involved the Carew family were in the conflict!!
