Some images from my vaguely recent(ish) visit to Tyntesfield, North Somerset, England. (This was the morning after we attended a prog-metal concert in Bristol - featuring Between the Buried and Me, supported by IHLO and You Win Again Gravity. Karen had caught an early train back - to earn some of what we like to call ‘money’, leaving me to wander around in a tinnitus infused daze before eventually travelling home in our EV ‘Rimsy’).

1. Tyntesfield was the home of the Gibbs family.
2. Their considerable wealth was derived from controlling the import of Peruvian ‘guano’ fertiliser. (This industry and trade came with various alarming social and environmental issues).
3. Originally the ancestral home of the Tynte family, ‘Tyntes Place’ passed through several families and iterations of houses until purchased by William Gibbs and his wife Blanche in 1844.
4. In the 1860s, they hired architect John Norton to rebuild the house in the Gothic Revival style, reflecting the family’s devout Anglican Christian faith.
5. They also hired decorator John Gregory Crace to design the interiors, bought furniture from the finest craftspeople - including cabinet-maker James Plucknett and filled their home with art.
6. The National Trust bought Tyntesfield in 2002, allowing visitors to explore this fascinating house, gardens and estate.
