Doors of WordPress V93

Happy Thursday everyone and welcome to another week of doors. I have returned after a two week hiatus and feeling good for the break. I have been exceptionally busy with work but also I have found a new obsession, commencing my family tree on ancestry.com. I will have to write a blog post about that but for now I will showcase some doors from my trip to England last month.

We visited an amazing place called Wimpole Estate in Cambridgeshire and not for the first time. We had previously visited in late 2023 when we took my niece and nephew to a light installation show. However, this time we visited to appreciate the grounds and scenery during the day and with some lovely warm weather.

Managed by the National Trust, Wimpole Estate includes a grand mansion, extensive gardens, a working farm and parkland. The estate dates back many centuries, with its development influenced by various owners who made significant changes to both the house and the landscape.

It’s a very popular destination for tourists, nature lovers, and history enthusiasts, offering walks, seasonal events, and educational activities. It is also used for filming and cultural events due to its scenic beauty and historical significance. However, for me, I just couldn’t help but appreciate the venue for all the fantastic doors it had to showcase. As always, let me know if you have a favourite one this week.

I absolutely love the door on the church from picture number 9 but I really love the simplicity of door number 1. Those doors that are split in two halves are really cool and always remind me of old country and western movies. I think the tractor also adds to the shot.

Thank you all for having a look and I hope you’re all having a great September thus far.

  1. Two years ago, I spent a significant amount of time on ancestry.com helping my husband figure out his heritage. It was a wonderful adventure, and recently we visited the place in Italy where his ancestors came from (before they headed to the US). Best luck to you in your own search.

    Your doors are lovely. My favorite photo is #3, through the wooden door with large hinges and a tip at the top! 🙂

  3. I’m not sure if I can pick a favourite one. I like them all!

    The old tractor and little half door brings back lovely childhood memories. I wasn’t reared on a farm but I had many visits to farms of friends and relatives.

  8. I love the look of number 5… the total shot. Walking up all those steps with a where am I going feeling and those beautiful wooden doors to a huge building.

    Good luck on looking up your ancestry, It is very interesting I can trace my Italian side back to the renaissance plus I do know my grandmother was a Grimaldi and who knows where that leads to or how far back that can go into Monaco?? its interesting. It’s my fathers side we had done.

  10. These are all beautiful, Wayne. You often only have five doors, so I’m going to allow myself two favorites: #1 – I love half doors (Dutch Doors) and tractors, so that’s a given. #4 – I like the perspective. This was in close competition with #9. In any case, I’m glad you had a great time. Thanks for bringing us doors.
