I love period properties and Jacobean architecture is difficult to better. I love shooting a place which is drenched in history, knowing so much has happened within the walls and very floor I’m walking on. According to tradition this house was used as a summer residence for the bishops of Worcester in the Tudor period. I love the bannister shown here and can only imagine how many hours of meticulous craftsmanship have gone in to create this magnificent landing area.

I could have photographed this barn from hundreds of angles, so settling on just a few compositions that show off the home wasn't easy. Here I wanted to link the dining area with sitting areas beyond. Opening doors also helps to invite the viewers eye beyond the foreground and to explore the house or in this case the garden further.
