Preserved in a State of Decay - Calke Abbey, Derbyshire

Calke Abbey, Derbyshire, is an 18th century house built on the site of an Augustinian priory.
Many of the UK’s country houses are owned by the National Trust. But while most have been restored to showcase the upstairs/downstairs life of people in earlier centuries, Calke Abbey is different. The walls are cracked and browned, rooms are full of personal effects and collections assembled by a reclusive owner. The outbuildings are as they were in the days of the horse and cart. But the result of this apparent neglect and decay, is that Calke preserves the atmosphere of its long-gone past among its six hundred acres (240 Hectares) of parkland.
