Witley Court and Gardens

Photographs taken on a visit to Witley Court, Church and Gardens on July 15, 2020. Witley Court now in the guardianship of English Heritage must be one of England's most spectacular ruins. One can only imagine what it must have been like before it succumbed to a major blaze.
