I am often asked, which is my favourite @nationaltrust house? Well of course, they all are! #Nunnington @nt_york @nunningtonhallnt takes some beating. Tranquil, homely, peaceful and welcoming, with the River Rye bubbling through the grounds. #clock #conservation #repair #survey #maintenance #heritage by @howtorepairpendulumclocks
