At least THIS private house was open to the University and was also used for a number of films. BTW, I already know the gateway routine. That can work well when the house is not too distant. Sometimes there is access to the church on the grounds which offers a closer view, but you have already photographed those extremely well! :-) Know what you mean about the lanes and this trip I'll have a navigator with me who has a keen eye for scenery and we'll have the hood down if it's not raining. That will leave my eyes open for avoiding the monster farm machinery which has been known to pop out of the hedges at warp speed! :-) Best Regards, William -------------- Original message from "GeeBee" <graham@geebeespaw.freeserve.co.uk>: -------------- > Hi William, > > Edgecote Hall is a private residence but there are any number of large > houses open to the public in Northamptonshire and throughout the UK.
