View from a bench under trees into the valley at Polesden Lacey. Clear blue sky
View of the hedge border at the bottom of the lawn at Polesden Lacey. Over the hedge you can see the other side of the valley dotted with oak trees. Pale blue sky, wispy clouds. Green lawn in front of the hedge.
Sunlight through the trees bending over the curves of the hill and a bendy path at Polesden Lacey.

A grand, historic yellow mansion with white trim and large sash windows stands under a partly cloudy sky. The building features a central entrance with columns and an ornate clock tower rising above the roofline. Ivy climbs the walls in places, and a gravel courtyard with benches and flowerbeds surrounds the front. A few people are seen walking near the entrance, adding a sense of scale and life to the stately scene.
An ornate, vintage tapestry hangs above a carved wooden bed with a gilded floral crest. The tapestry features a romantic pastoral scene in muted tones: a seated woman in classical dress is surrounded by flowers, a dog, and a cherub holding a garland. The central image is framed by an elaborate oval border of floral and scroll motifs on a blush pink background, adding a sense of grandeur and elegance to the room.
A beautifully embroidered cream-colored kimono is displayed on a mannequin inside a museum exhibit. The kimono features delicate pink and white floral patterns, primarily roses, with intricate branches and leaves cascading across the back and sleeves. The garment is showcased in a softly lit glass case, surrounded by mirrors and interpretive panels that hint at historical context, including a sign mentioning “Royal Friends” and Queen Mary.
A floral fabric tote bag lies on a textured white surface, with two colorful needlework books placed on top. One book is titled “Old English Roses in Needlework” by Jane Iles, showing a hand embroidering pink roses. The other is “Fairy Tales in Cross Stitch,” featuring whimsical cross-stitch designs, including Little Red Riding Hood. The tote bag and book covers feature floral and vintage-inspired designs.
Had the best day yesterday at Polesden Lacey! 🌿 Gorgeous tapestries, dreamy furniture, & Queen Mary’s embroidered kimono stole my heart 👘💫 Left with some vintage needlework books + a floral tote from the 2nd-hand shop 📚🧵 #PolesdenLacey #NationalTrust
