Hylands House Chelmsford

So far this year I have been very busy with work and have not had a lot of time for my passion of photography, so today I took a drive out to the Hylands Estate Nr. Chelmsford Essex & managed to press the shutter a few times. Here are a few images from my first visit to this country park, I will return sometime soon when I have more time.

The house is a popular venue for weddings and conferences

Wimpole Hall Winter Festival

At Christmas time each year Wimpole hall opens part of the house to give a taste of how the members of the household, both above & below stairs enjoyed this annual celebration.  The National Trust allows photography on some of their properties but for good reason without using a flashgun or a tripod so photographers have to resort to using a high ISO (increasing the sensitivity of the camera) this creates a number of problems for the photographer which I have attempted to reduce, so the quality of these shots is not as high as I would like. I would also like to thank the staff and the volunteers for the cooperation.
