Back in time to September 2018.....

Calke Abbey is not your typical pristine stately home — it’s famous because it’s been preserved in a state of arrested decay. The National Trust chose to leave many of the rooms and belongings exactly as they were when the house was acquired in 1985 — dusty, peeling, and cluttered — to tell the story of the decline of country estates in the 20th century.

Originally it was a priory (a small abbey) established by Augustinian canons in the 12th century. After the Dissolution of the Monasteries by Henry VIII, the land was sold off. The current house was built in the early 1700s and was home to the Harpur family for almost 300 years. The family became increasingly reclusive and the house gradually fell into disrepair.

This picture shows a vibrant vegetable garden, likely taken at Calke Abbey in Derbyshire, England. The garden bed is filled with a variety of squashes and pumpkins, with bright orange pumpkins prominently visible among large, green leaves and sprawling vines. Some of the squashes are green and warty, adding interesting texture to the scene. The garden bed is bordered by a rustic stone wall, and a gravel path runs alongside it. On the left side of the image, a person wearing a green jacket is holding a camera, seemingly preparing to take a photo of the produce. The background features more greenery, indicating a lush garden setting.

This picture captures a peaceful garden scene, likely taken at Calke Abbey in Derbyshire, England. A narrow dirt path runs through the center of the image, flanked by lush greenery and neatly arranged plants. Small clay pots are placed on top of stakes lining the path, possibly serving as garden markers or decorations. The garden is bordered by dense trees, providing a rich green canopy under a partly cloudy sky with patches of blue. Two people are visible in the foreground: one standing and tending to the garden, and another with white hair partially visible at the bottom of the frame. The atmosphere is serene, typical of a well-maintained historical estate garden.

This picture showcases a beautifully maintained garden with vibrant landscaping. The lush green lawn is dotted with palm trees, creating a tropical feel. There are colorful flower beds featuring bright yellow and rich red flowers, neatly arranged in circular clusters around the trees. A pair of wooden deck chairs are placed on the grass, inviting relaxation amidst the serene environment. In the corner, there's a small circular pond with a protective metal edging, adding to the charm. The garden is enclosed by a rustic brick wall, with greenery and trees visible beyond, under a lightly clouded sky.

This is a beautiful photo of Calke Abbey, taken from a distance across a wide expanse of lush green grass. Here’s what stands out in the image: • 🏛️ The building: Calke Abbey is prominently centered in the shot. The grand, rectangular Georgian-style mansion has a classical façade, featuring tall sash windows and a portico with columns at the front entrance. The stone looks weathered, which adds to its character and reflects its history of “arrested decay.” • 🌳 Surrounding landscape: The abbey is set in rolling parkland, with expansive lawns and mature trees — including a dramatic cedar tree on the left and dense woodland on the right. • 🌤️ Sky and weather: The sky is partly cloudy with patches of bright blue, creating a crisp and pleasant atmosphere. The lighting suggests it might be late morning or early afternoon. • 👣 Human scale: There are tiny figures near the building and on the path, giving a sense of scale — it shows just how large the house is compared to visitors. It’s the kind of place that invites a slow wander — history, nature, and peaceful vibes all in one spot.
