Ednaston Manor 2012-12-09

From SE. Cropped from a very distant view from Brailsford churchyard, but worth posting (I hope) given the quality of the building. Designed by Edwin Lutyens for W. G. Player (of Player's Cigarettes), 1912-19. According to the list description (list.english-heritage.org.uk/resultsingle.aspx?uid=1109745), Ednaston Manor was described by Lutyens' biographer, A. G. S. Butler, as "perhaps the most perfect country house that Lutyens designed"; Lutyens himself recalled it as a "dear little Queen Anne house" [Clive Aslet, The last country houses (1982), p.315].
