It's feeling a little quiet in the Events Office today without the buzz of visitors and the House Guides. So what a lift to see this oil painting by Bill Proby, drawn from photographs. Bill lives overseas and traces his ancestry back to an earlier generation of the resident Proby family.

Have you made any sketches of the House or Garden during your visit? We'd love to see them. Or perhaps you're in an art group that would like to bring your easels for a morning? Let us know and we'll be happy to plan for next summer.

And that, as they say, is that.

Summer 2026, notable for extreme heat and weather warnings, has been and gone. The House Guides gathered today before the last open afternoon for a celebratory lunch, full of chatter and good spirits. We’re sad to end, as ever, but we’ll be back in 2027 to share the continuing story of a house with a special spirit that we have all come to love.

Until then …
