Continuing our visit to Scotney house and garden...
 |
| Walking back uphill to the house, through the quarry |
 |
| The house, early 19th century |
 |
| The Husseys, its last residents |
 |
| Staircase to Margaret Thatcher's get-away flat |
 |
| Nice screen in the library |
 |
| The good life; this is one of those houses given to the National Trust to be "kept as it was" |
 |
| Helpful model--done by the architect himself |
 |
| As with most of the great houses, Scotney took in children as residents during the Blitz |
 |
| Interesting oil-burning stove, continuously on, different burners at different set temperatures; AGA, very famous |
 |
| Hussey was editor of Country Life for many years |
 |
| A bit creepy, perhaps |
 |
| But just as it was; and one of our favorites |
