Today I visited one of my favourite places in the whole wide world (just a touch of hyperbole I know but who cares?) – Calke Abbey.  I was told a story many years ago that one of my less than reputable ancestors was a poacher in the area and I like to think he may well have been active in an around Calke Abbey.  I have no idea whether this is true and we will never be able to prove it one way or another but it is something I choose to believe so I guess that makes it true, at least for me.

One of the events running at the moment is a photographic exhibition called Calke on Camera which, it you might find not too difficult to believe, was for images of Calke Abbey.  The theme this year was ‘What the Harpur- Crewes’ built’.  The exhibition itself was very much a muchness  but it did get me thinking about my photographic image collection of Calke Abbey. So I have just spent ten minutes collating my Camera of Calke exhibition – many of which have already appeared in this blog before.

I congratulate the winning photographers for their photographic efforts and their success.

So without any further ado here is my little exhibition, which have been altered to suit my own purposes which is really just to please me.
