Knebworth House from one of the three mounds in the gardens. Although these look like barrows, they are actually the spoil from excavating the sunken lawns in the 19th century.

One of the dragons (?) from originally on the roof of the house. They had to be replaced due to erosion making them unsafe. I rather like its current location in the flower bed.
