Trentham Tower Sandon Park, Staffordshire. added to Historic Buildings in West Midlands by D0c.Col on 21/07/2022

Trentham Tower originally formed the top of the tower at Trentham Hall, which was designed by Sir Charles Barry C.1840. Trentham Hall was demolished in 1910 -1911 and the tower top was dismantled and reconstructed at Sandon around 1912. The tower was fully restored in 2016/17 to its present condition and is a listed Grade II building. It sits rather isolated in many acres of the Sandon Upper Park and is well worth a visit. Access to the Folly is from the A51 down School Lane (opposite the Dog and Doublet pub) and follow the signs to Church Lane and the All Saints Church. From the Church gate follow the road East a short distance until you see a cattle grid entrance to a Lane between farm buildings. Follow the lane until you see 5bar gate and a field path opposite a rather beautiful farm house. Take the path and as you pass a large copse on your left you will see at close to the highest point of Sandon Park this marvellous tower folly. The many times I've passed this folly on walks I've never seen a soul so a great place to fly.

St Michael the Archangel church, Salisbury (By gasbag43)

St Michael's Church in Mere, Wiltshire, is a Grade 1 listed building. It has a rich history dating back to at least the 11th century, with evidence suggesting a Saxon church existed on the site.

The church is dedicated to St. Michael the Archangel and features a striking 15th-century tower, visible for miles around. Over the centuries, the church has been expanded and modified, with significant additions and rebuilds in the 13th, 14th, and 15th centuries

The church is tucked away in a quiet part of town surrounded by cottages of Mere stone. The 15th century tower looks down on a churchyard with 12 yew trees clipped in the shape of skittles and known as the 12 Apostles

The backdrop to the church in this photo shows just a small part of the miles upon miles of lush rolling Wiltshire countryside that surrounds the village with a significant number of ancient earthworks – field systems and forts dating back to the Iron Age – in close proximity making Mere a great base from which to explore the area.

Mere Castle, Salisbury (By gasbag43)

Castle Hill, also called Mere Castle, was a medieval fortification built by Richard, the Earl of Cornwall, in 1253 on a hill overlooking the town of Mere, Wiltshire.

It is a very prominent landmark, rising up on the north edge of the town and overlooking the settlement on one side, and the downs to the north

The castle was constructed in stone, with six towers, inner buildings and gates. It was abandoned in the 14th century and stripped of its stone and metalwork. Only earthworks remain in the 21st century

The site is protected under law as a scheduled monument owned by the Duchy of Cornwall, and leased to the local parish council

The hill itself is picturesque, but the view from altitude (summit plus 120 metes) is of stunning Wiltshire landscape

Westwood Manor, West Wiltshire (By gasbag43)

Westwood Manor is a 15th-century manor house in the village of Westwood, near Bradford-on-Avon, Wiltshire.

The manor is set within gardens featuring modern topiary and offering excellent views over the Frome Valley. Taken as a whole, the house is an outstanding example of medieval and Tudor architecture, with wonderful topiary, in an idyllic country setting.

It has been in the ownership of the National Trust since 1956 and was designated as Grade I listed in 1962.

The manor is immediately adjacent to a lovely 12th century church – St Mary the Virgin. It so close its hard to get a shot of the manor without it encroaching :)

If making the trip to the area, you can easily combine this location with flights at Iford Manor and Farleigh Hungerford castle which I posted earlier this week (both no more than 10 minutes drive away)

Corsham Court, North Wiltshire (By gasbag43)

Corsham Court is a country house situated in a park designed by Capability Brown. It is in the town of Corsham, 3 miles west of Chippenham, Wiltshire. It is currently the home of the present Baron Methuen, James Methuen-Campbell, the eighth generation of the Methuens to live there.

Corsham was a royal manor in the days of the Saxon kings, reputed to have been a seat of Ethelred the Unready. After William the Conqueror, the manor continued to be passed down through the generations in the royal family. It often formed part of the dower of the Queens of England during the late 14th and early 15th centuries. During the 16th century, the manor went to two of Henry VIII's wives, namely Catherine of Aragon until 1536, and Katherine Parr until 1548.

During the reign of Elizabeth I the estate passed out of the royal family; the present house was built in 1582

In 1960, the house was recorded as Grade I listed

Impressive house situated in large park incorporating a big lake
