Hughenden Manor

So next up is our visit to the home of 19th century British Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli - Hughenden Manor. Its not the sort of place that most people would have on the top of their places to visit, but it’s a National Trust property we’d never been to, and as members entry is free for us, so why not.

As usual for our visit to National Trust properties, it was very interesting. Also as usual, the weather was dodgy. We still managed to get about though and take some pics, so we you enjoy them.

The stairwell…. what’s with all the portraits in these places?

Hey! They stole the poster from our downstairs toilet.

The girls seem excited to see the beer cellar, but the most excitement was behind the camera.

Our picnic lunch by the blossoming apple trees was nice.

This is the nearby village of Bradenham…. worth taking a pic, we thought.
