England part 2

One of the days we went to Corsham Court.  It was built in the 1500s and has been owned by the same family since the 1700s.  Part of the home is open to the public where you can view an amazing collection of paintings and 18th century furniture.  Unfortunately they didn't allow photography inside the home so I could only take photos outside.

Outside the entrance to the home is the church - I guess if your house is big enough you get your own church!

After we'd checked out the church we headed towards the house.

Once we walked through the massive archway we saw the gorgeous house. I love english architecture and thought it was absolutely stunning!

Can you imagine living in such a house? After we finished looked at all the rooms and paintings we went around the back to walk around the grounds.

So pretty.

 There was this random bath house on the grounds that looked like it hadn't been used in quite some time.

 Shaun considered mowing as a backup career.
