Levens Hall interiors
Levens Hall is a manor house near the village of Leven, 5 miles south of Kendal in Cumbria. The first house on the site was a pele tower built in around 1350 but much of the present building dates from the Elizabethan era.

I was invited to photograph the interiors of the hall for their new guidebook and spent the day capturing the atmospheric rooms full of carved panelling and fine plasterwork. My particular favourite was the drawing room as not only was it a beautiful space, it also has a view over the fantastic gardens at Levens, home to the oldest topiary in the world.
Arley Hall interiors
I recently had the opportunity to photograph the interiors of Arley Hall. This beautiful stately home in Cheshire was built for Rowland Egerton-Warburton between 1832 and 1845
I recently had the opportunity to photograph the interiors of Arley Hall. This beautiful stately home in Cheshire was built for Rowland Egerton-Warburton between 1832 and 1845, to replace an earlier house on the site. Local architect George Latham designed the house in a style which has become known as Jacobethan, copying elements of Elizabethan architecture. The house is a Grade II* listed building and sits within a large estate and is otherwise known as Thomas Shelby’s house in the BBC's series Peaky Blinders.
