After the garden/sculpture tour, we visited the house...

Thus; again |

In the entry...many portraits...this the most famous, the last
portrait of Charles I, done while he was on trial; note the
graying beard, the haggard eyes; interestingly (to me), the
lord of Antony at the time served on the jury that judged
and condemned the king--and he was later beheaded for it,
in the Restoration; earlier, his younger brother, a Royalist,
had been beheaded by the Parliamentarians; nasty times |

Dining room; note the silver boat on the table |

Commissioned by Richard Carew Pole, Richard Le Brun's
Oh! Death Will Find Me, inspired by Rupert Brooke's sonnet;
there were few British families, of any station, that were not
deeply affected by WWI |
