The Limbo Connection's photos with the keyword: Lytes Cary

A crazy edit. No crazier than croquet, though.

The Apostle Garden at Lytes Cary Manor takes its name from the twelve yew bushes that line the front path, with the water tower at the end built in imitation of Avebury Manor dovecote. Sir Walter Jenner, who was the son of Queen Victoria's physician, bought Lytes Cary Manor in 1907. His brother Leopold had recently acquired and begun restoring Avebury Manor, Wiltshire. On his death in 1948, Sir Walter left Lytes Cary to the National Trust. Coincidentally, the National Trust also now owns Avebury Manor which they bought in 1991.

A Byzantine game, maybe, full of nuance and innuendo. A game where interlopers mysteriously insinuate themselves and ghosts of games long past gaze wistfully at the shadows cast by the hoops.

A lot can happen in seven years.
