A few images from Stoneleigh Abbey, Kenilworth, Warwickshire.

1. What began as a humble Cistercian monastic house in 1154, fell victim to the Dissolution of the Monasteries to became home to the Leigh family. The only parts of the original house are the arches you can (just) see behind to the left.
2. The house has hosted many people of note, including King Charles I and Queen Victoria. The foreground water is the River Avon.
3. Jane Austen stayed here in 1806 and found inspiration in the house, grounds and family intrigues, which were to become woven into her novels such as ‘Mansfield Park’.
4. The grand entrance hall was nearly lost to a disastrous fire which raged through the house in 1960.
5. The figure (an early crime deterrent) is much older than you may think.
6. The bed (but not the room) in which Queen Victoria slept when she visited in 1858.
