A trip up to Sizergh Castle in Cumbria yesterday. Took lots oif pix - I'll just share a few here.
Sizergh Castle and Garden is a stately home and garden at Helsington in the English county of Cumbria, about 4 miles south of Kendal. The castle, a grade I listed building, is in the care of the National Trust along with its garden and estate. The earliest part of the building is a tower of fourteenth or fifteenth century date. The Deincourt family owned this land from the 1170s. On the marriage of Elizabeth Deincourt to Sir William de Stirkeland in 1239, the estate passed into the hands of what became the Strickland family, who owned it until it was gifted to the National Trust in 1950.
