Newnham Paddox Revisited

Monks Kirby, Warwickshire
Photos taken at Monks Kirby Midsummer County Fair
21st June, 2015

We visited here last year when the grounds

were open for another annual charity event

known as Daffodil Sunday.  It was fun

to see the piano (above) is still there today.

No daffodils this visit, but grounds are still beautiful.

Lancelot 'Capability' Brown designed the

lakes and park between 1745 and 1753.

These beautiful Grade I Listed 

Screen, Gates and Gatepiers are amazing.

And, there are wonderful views.....

Newnham Paddox is the private residence of the

Earl and Countess of Denbigh.

 Above, one of the lakes and below you can see the silhouette 

of the tower of the Church of St Edith in Monks Kirby taken
from the main drive into the park.

Here are a few more photos from the
event...adding them just for fun.

Tea, cakes, crafts...

Morris Dancing, Elsa and plenty of entertainment.

 Ice cream,
and
vintage cars
and more!

Have a good weekend.
See you next week :).

Alvis Hare Mascot

Photo taken at Monks Kirby Midsummer County Fair

Part of a vintage car collection displayed by local Monks Kirby enthusiast.

1929 Alvis 12/50 SD with MG

PS. I think I was more interested in this radiator cap mascot than getting

details of these two cars.  I will add more later :).

M Is For Monks Kirby

The Church of St Edith dominates the landscape of Monks Kirby

(taken last Sunday from Newnham Paddox grounds). 

 I have just a couple more photos to share of our visit.

The dark posts in the centre of the photo (above) are the

magnificent Grade I listed gates you can see HERE.

Below is one of several daffodil-lined walks.

...and more daffodils. 

I couldn't pass on showing you this piano.  I just love it :).

Taken last Sunday.  No sunshine but plenty of daffodils.

Carrying on from yesterday, here are more photos from around

this wonderful park, designed by Lancelot 'Capability' Brown

Not far from this location is another lake and, yes, more daffodils.
