Oh frosty days! It's a time to pull on your woolly hats, breath in the crisp winter air and take in views like these, where the trees stand out against a carpet of frost across the landscape. Probably followed by a hot cuppa in the café.

It's #NationalTreeWeek and this is Croome's oldest tree at around 700 years old.
We've carried out work to preserve and protect this English oak, including propping a major limb to ensure it stays attached and surrounding it with a hand crafted fence.

A surprise calf has been born at Croome. Named 'Capability' by Rob, our tenant farmer, after the eighteenth-century landscape designer 'Capability' Brown who created the landscape at Croome today. The calf looks black here but it is brown... 'Capability' Brown.

#OnThisDay in 1716 Lancelot Capability Brown was baptised in Kirkharle, Northumberland. Brown was a landscape designer who is referred to as the 'Shakespeare of gardening'. We funded the #CapabilityBrown Festival @BrownCapability in 2016.

We’ve created a list of churches that Capability Brown has designed, as well as those that he has a more personal connection to, so you can find out more about this brilliant 18th century gardener and architect. ⬇️ nationalchurchestrust.org/ex…

Wheelbarrow family business in #Isleworth: James Woods d 1757, son Stephen d 1766 leaving his skilled widow Sarah to continue making barrows for @SyonParkGardens - 22 in 1767-8! She married 2nd husband Jeremiah Lockyer, probably a wheeler, in July 1769. Such a good image!
In the 1760s Mrs Wood the Wheeler built wheelbarrows for #CapabilityBrown's workers @SyonParkGardens #London during his landscape building work there. #C18th Early #WomenInEngineering #WomenEngineers #INWED23 #WomenInHistoryShouldntBeAMystery
