In the doghouse

In the courtyard of Ightham Mote there is a giant dog kennel, which is the only Grade 1 listed kennel in the UK. This was made for a St Bernard called Dido.

Other highlights for me are the painted ceiling in the Tudor chapel, and the Great Hall. Of course, the National Trust's "no photography" rule means that I can't show these in the blog (my previous visit pre-dated the no-photography edict, so if I can find the relevant images I'll post them later). The NT has a photogallery of Ightham interiors and exteriors.
