Beautiful Bateman's NT . Once the house of Rudyard Kipling, author of many books, but probably the most well known work is The Jungle Book. Quite like the reflection! 😁 National Trust National Trust South East

Always love this bookplate that Lockwood Kipling designed for his son Rudyard. That man (RK himself?) reading and smoking in his howdah is delightful. Part of an excellent totally refurbished display in the Exhibition Room at Bateman's NT. Thanks Freddie Matthews and Hannah Miles

What I love most about National Trust are the stories. Over the last few days I’ve enjoyed the house parties of an Edwardian heiress, arts and crafts family weekends and a literary giant at work! PolesdenLaceyNT Bateman's NT Standen NT
