As I said, on my flying visit yesterday, I had a great trip to Knightshayes Court with Claire ... it is in Gothic Revival, and the family apparently hated it, so much so that the ceilings were all boarded over once the family had moved on a generation.

We were so lucky with the weather as while we were in the house it was heavy rain, but before that we had time to actually look round the gardens

We aim to go back again in the summer to see the gardens in more colour

Very interesting house. I particularly liked the library.
