Uppark House
One of the highlights of this NT property is the 18th century doll's house. It was also very interesting to hear about the visits by the Prince Regent, Lady Hamilton & H.G. Wells!

Petworth
Petworth was for many years the home of the percy family, the Earls of Northumberland. It is best known for it's art works by Van Dyck, Turner, Reynolds & Gainsborough but for me the wood carvings by Grinling Gibbons outshone everything else.
