Cycle Tour of Britain 2010

A handful of club cyclists test the route ahead of the actual race, here passing through the village of Horringer. The primary school children and staff cheer and wave enthusiastically at anything that moves. I'd rather cheer that nice yellow MG ZS180.

Setting up for Tour of Britain cycle race 2010

The National Trust Ickworth grabbed the chance with the Tour of Britain cycle race passing the end of their drive to set up a couple of stalls on the village green. One sold food, publicising the restaurant, while the other presented the advantages of NT membership. The main drive passes across the photo, with the gatehouse visible behind one gazebo. To the other side we see Horringer church. The baby buggy in the picture makes an interesting comparison with a very old equivalent in the house, which also uses the now trendy layout of 3 large wheels.

Cycle Tour of Britain 2010 passes through

Here the cyclists pass through the small remaining green at Horringer, accompanied by a huge collection of motorcycles and cars. Having set off from the centre of Bury St. Edmunds, at this point the riders were not actually racing, with the true start being on the southern edge of the village. In 2011 the race will take a different route south. In the background the church is just visible.

A view from the south east of the Rotunda, Ickworth

The Rotunda in the central feature of Ickworth house, but has two long corridors leading to two rectangular wings. Part of the West Wing is visible on the left - this part was the orangery. The part on the left that looks like a bridge really is, as the Rotunda is surrounded by a dry moat, provided to allow daylight into the kitchens and servants' quarters in the basement. This part of the Rotunda houses the Library and Drawing Room on the ground floor. Note the size of the people relative to the distance up to the next floor - the Earl Bishop that commissioned the house had a love of very high ceilings. On the first floor the Silver Room occupies a former bedroom. The other areas visible here are not normally accessible to the public. The best view of the gardens is obtained from the volunteers' tea room. The next floor is used for storage and offices. This picture was actually taken during a photographic survey of the upper frieze to check for deterioration.

Ickworth icehouse

The icehouse is situated off the beaten track and is seldom visited. A hole cut in a wooden entrance door enabled a small camera to be inserted and pointed downwards. The icehouse is situated on a cool, north-facing slope. Blocks of ice were stored in the deep brick-lined cavern and often lasted until the summer. The icehouse was built in the 18th century, before the current Ickworth House was built.

View east from Westley Bottom

Originally this was Westley Bottom Farm, but the more observant will note that farms don't usually have neat car parks like this. It has actually been converted to the Eastern England headquarters for the National Trust. The 2-picture panorama shows the valley of the river Linnet, with Bury St. Edmunds in the near distance. The site would have been part of the Ickworth estate of the Earls and Marquesses of Bristol.

Westley Bottom Farm, NT headquarters

The farm at Westley Bottom, on the Ickworth Estate, has been converted into the Eastern England headquarters of the National Trust. The buildings appear to have been restored until no sign of the original shows - a good job they don't do that to stately homes.

Sawdust flies as giant circular saw is demonstrated

Taken during the annual wood fair in Ickworth Park, this bit of history was driven from a traction engine by that long belt from the right. The operator has quite a collection of levers to operate - it was far from clear to a bystander what they all did. Despite its age this machine was easily capable of reducing felled trees to useful planks. The modern machine behind was to deliver the trees. In the background we see the open spaces and trees of Ickworth Park - Ickworth Church is just out of sight to the left (south).

West corridor backs exotic car collection

The West corridor of Ickworth House curves around from the Rotunda, out of sight on the left, to the West Wing entrance on the right. The recesses are merely decoration and were never intended to contain windows. There is actually a dry moat between the cars and the wall - this was a clever way to supply daylight to the basement without being obvious. On this day the West Wing was hosting a meeting for a company that advises clients on wealth creation and retention - it looks as if they have been pretty successful for their clients, or maybe these are the company cars - an Aston Martin and three Ferraris.

Horringer Green by night

The junction of the main road through the village - the A143 - and the drive to Ickworth Park, Ickworth House and Ickworth Hotel. A car coming from the house has illuminated the grass and tree across the road.

Rotunda entrance at night, with Christmas trees

The National Trust property at Ickworth has found it difficult to open for Christmas in the past due to a lack of space to present Christmas activities, but with the servants' basement areas now being readied for an official opening in March 2012 it has proved possible to open. The entrance hall provided a welcoming huge Christmas tree and choir performances, while there was sweet making in the old kitchen and crafts in the Servants' Hall. Not forgetting Father Christmas in the visiting servants' room. The photo was taken just after closing so the front door and shutters are closed and it does not look very welcoming. The mini trees have continuously varying brightness controls so they look uneven.
