Van Mansion

Van Mansion through a 200mm lens

It doesn't look like this now - the current owners have ruined it by whitewashing all that lovely stone.

Interesting feature: the domed structure behind the leftmost building is the dovecote. It was a ruin in 1961 when my mother photographed it - and I hope to have some of those pictures up soon.
