Wimpole Hall Photos

This week’s collection of photos were all taken at Wimpole Hall, Cambridgeshire.

[Image ID] This photo was taken at the foot of a staircase looking up through the space to the high, square ceiling above. [description end]

[Image ID]  This photo is looking up at a different angle, and this time the main feature is a large portrait in an ornate gold frame.[description end]

The two photos above were taken looking up the main staircase but from different directions. I thought the ‘cropping’ of the view provided by the underside of the stairs and the intense light from the skylight created a very unique perspective. I also found it interesting how the same staircase can look completely different from one angle to another – as seen in these photos.

I took this photo to capture the way the arched ceiling in the foreground framed the larger room behind it.

[Image ID] Looking down over the wide sunlit grass avenue in front of the hall, towards the Cambridgeshire hills. It was a bright day with light blue sky and lots of fluffy clouds. [description end]

The intense striping of light and shade down the avenue was what caught my attention for this photo.

There is a folly built at the far end of the ground behind the hall and this is the view looking towards it from the edge of the formal gardens.

[Image ID] A sunlit view across the formal parterre gardens. There is a white door in the garden wall, and to the left you can see the top of the church. [description end]

This photo looks the other way – back across the formal gardens. The light coloured building behind the brick wall is the estate church.
