I have been to Beningborough twice and both times it has rained!

The walled garden has been restored but not to a fully working vegetable garden. There are lawns, fruit trees, flowers and plenty of seats. It is a very relaxing space.

There is a nice tea room, and the house contains some interesting portraits on loan.

I was privately commissioned to paint both back and front views of Beningbrough Hall and produced giclee prints and A5 greetings cards (blanks) from the front view. These were offered to the National Trust for sale through their outlets, but I never received a reply. Oh well, their loss. You can see the front view on my website. The Homefarm Shop in the grounds have a small stock of cards and a framed print. You can of course contact me through my site. www.watercolour-crow.co.uk
