Leaves From My Sketchbooks. 45. The End, Buckland Ripers Manor, Upwey, Dorset


Friends live in this portion of a mid-eighteenth century manor house in Dorset, England. I chose to sketch it through a profusion of garden growth because that's the atmosphere of the place: quiet, dignified and nestled in verdant garden at the end of a wooded country lane.  

It was once shielded by elm trees in which rooks nested and cawed incessantly but Dutch elm disease changed things for ever .
