Was "forward" Pugin's motto, or just an affection?

An amazing place.  I was fortunate to go there on one of their open days a few years back.  Must be quite something to stay there.  This is a photo I took during my visit.  Pugin's church next door is also worth a visit.

A stately home with a connection to the Houses of Parliament.

Sorry grandarog, but I have not felt able to join in for sometime because subjects have either too many based in East Kent or too narrow in their subject matter. Being a West Kent person who has rarely travelled to the eastern half I am excluded from taking part as a result.

Hi Lutoman

I'll make sure my next one is in your neck of the woods  :)

Not National Trust.
It's going to cost you quite a lot if you want to visit.
