A visit to Ickworth House, Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk

At Emma and Sam’s suggestion we all took off for a “jaunt”, as they say, to a stately Georgian Italianate National Trust mansion in Suffolk. This was built in the early 1800’s and boasts fabulous décor, artworks, gardens and vineyards. The owners and descendants led a questionable lifestyle (from debauchery through to jewellery theft and gun running and then the last who died from aids at age 45 after blowing £21m on drugs and high living).  The National Trust do an excellent job of maintaining 300 sites so naturally we joined that day!
