Witley court is the ruined shell of a mansion, set in the Worcestershire countryside. This site was originally a 13th century manor, but by 1630 was replaced with a much bigger house.

This house was much transformed over the years, but eventually a major fire in 1937 destroyed much of it. The rest was gutted for valuables and salvage. The shell is now safe and in the care of English Heritage.

The #demolition of a dilapidated 150-year-old #mansion in #Launceston, in #Tasmania's north, has prompted questions about gaps in #heritage protection.

The Victorian-era home was earmarked for heritage listing over two decades ago, but was never placed on the #StateHeritageRegister.

The loss of the property at 180 George Street has sparked anger and disappointment among locals and one heritage advocate who labelled the destruction as "scandalous". #auspol #taspol

There's additional 5th and 6th backgrounds that I need to make but, I think I should finish my current sketches first.
