A stately bench for a stately home
Image: © A J Paxton Taken: 20 Apr 2019
This handsome bench looks across a lawn to the west front of Castle Bromwich Hall, a 16th century mansion enlarged and altered in the 17th and early 18th centuries (see its listing on the Historic England site here https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1366587?section=official-list-entry ). The hall is now a luxury hotel. The photographer is standing in the walled gardens of the hall, which are maintained by a charitable trust and are open to the public, while the hall is not.
