Lytes Cary, Manor house in The Charltons, England.
The two-storey manor house combines blue lias stone walls with hamstone dressings, featuring a great hall and an oriel room among its primary sections.
The chapel of Lytes Cary was constructed in 1343, followed by additions of the great hall in the 15th century and the oriel room in the 16th century.
The great hall contains a collection of oak furniture from the 17th and 18th centuries, alongside tapestries and historical paintings selected by Sir Walter Jenner.
The National Trust maintains and operates the property, allowing visitors to explore both the furnished interior spaces and the surrounding gardens throughout the year.
The gardens feature distinct outdoor spaces divided by hedges, incorporating topiary, ornamental ponds, and walkways in an Arts and Crafts style design.
