Gallery

A look around.

The house, the grounds, and the country around them — through the year and the light that comes with it.

Swap in your own photography.
The images below are pulled from your existing site as placeholders, so the layout is complete and ready. Replace each src with your best high-resolution images, and add as many as you like — the grid reflows automatically. Write a short, descriptive alt for every image (this matters for both accessibility and search); the originals were missing alt text on most images. Use the --tall and --wide item classes to vary the rhythm.

Weddings & gatherings

Days worth gathering for

The garden fountain dressed with white floral arrangements for a wedding.
Round tables laid for a wedding dinner under the beams.
The old tower lit at dusk during an evening reception.
Wedding photography sells weddings. Add a generous set of real wedding images here — ceremonies in the meadow, the long table, dancing into the evening. With couples' permission, these are among your most persuasive content.
The région

The country around

Morning mist over the surrounding fields.

Through the seasons

The same place, four ways

Summer — the pool, parasols and the tower beyond.
Autumn — Virginia creeper turning across the façade.
Autumn — the conical tower behind a tree in full red leaf.
Autumn — wild mushrooms on the grass.
Winter — snow across the courtyard and barn.
Note for editor
Two of the photographs you sent are not placed: Gallery024_ducks.JPG and Gallery025_ducks.JPG. Lovely shots, but the rest of the site is silent on the animals on the estate, and adding them here would introduce a thread without anywhere to land it. Easy to slot in if you'd like — into Seasons, into Grounds, or as part of a small "the estate, lived in" section. Also worth a look: Gallery025_pool.JPG has a guest visible on a sun lounger in the middle distance; if you'd like that cropped or replaced, send a word.

From the latest batch, also not placed: grange_exterior_dog.jpg and grange_exterior_dusk.jpg (same reasoning as the ducks — charming, but no natural home yet), and a handful of small images (Gallery037–042, terrace_awning.jpg) that arrived at low resolution (roughly 200–450px wide) — too soft to use at gallery size. The living-room photo (chateau_salon_living_room.jpg) is genuinely useful content — it's the first shot of a shared sitting room anywhere on the site — but it's only 448×252px; a higher-resolution version would let it stand alongside the other room photography properly.
