Burghley House, Stamford (September 2011)

In September, Ben and I visited Burghley House, near Stamford.  The House was built by William Cecil, the first Lord Burghley (1520-1598), Lord High Treasurer and Chief Minister to Queen Elizabeth I.

We walked from the station through the Park to the House.


Various sculptures are dotted around the gardens

Look carefully in the foliage
