Images from a visit (in 2022) to Plas Newydd (‘new house’), near Llanfairpwllgwyngyll, Anglesey, Wales.

1. Plas Newydd is set in gardens, parkland and woodland on the north bank of the Menai Strait, and enjoys views over the strait and nearby Snowdonia.
2. The building has its origins in 1470, evolving to become one of Anglesey's principal residences. The National Trust has owned Plas Newydd since 1976.
3. A similar filing system to the one we use at home...
4. The artist Rex Whistler, born in 1905, first visited Plas Newydd at Easter in 1936. Seen here is a recently discovered theatre backdrop he painted.
5. That same April he was commissioned to paint a mural in the Dining Room. At 58 x 17 feet it's Whistler’s largest painting. (And it is absolutely amazing!).
6. The mural was never fully finished - Rex was killed on his first day of active duty in Normandy, France, on 18 July 1944, after he left his tank to go to the aid of other men in his unit.
