Beyond 'Beyond Limits' ...
Here are a few more features I saw when I was at Chatsworth a couple of months ago.
The first is a fan of a Rolls Royce jet engine ...
![Another [dusty] sculpture ... at Chatsworth](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/blogger_img_proxy/AEn0k_sCSsYNvHftkx4jTKxkUWh2Nd3SX_iZ11G1dbgLZA5x08_zmWyE1fx2g8v-snE3iNwyjr45tIJ3n0jGnURsaaaW4RePolUFnTNscf4LVh0jOZEIKDG3XqsmXgeJhzevDg=s0-d)
... it needs a duster running round it !
After the Conservative Wall I included in a recent blog here's a more modern greenhouse built in 1970 ...
Here's the same greenhouse beside a more traditional greenhouse on the right and the Conservative Wall in the background ...
After discovering the gravestone in memory of the tame red deer earlier in the day I then noticed another gravestone erected in memory of Smut, Grandpa ... and others ...
Smut and Grandpa etc appear to have lived for 12 to 15 years so I assume they are dogs.
Then on its own nearby was a stone in memory of Portly who was born in 1951 and died in 1962 ...
Why Portly was buried on his or her own I don't know. What Portly was I don't know.
A bit of a mish-mash of photographs but it gives you an idea as to the variety in the garden at Chatsworth. You could easily spend an hour or two looking around. They're worth a visit but even more so when the Beyond Limits exhibition is on. Then you can spend a couple of hours just looking at the sculptures in that exhibition.

The Conservative Wall !
The Conservative Wall is at Chatsworth ...
... and I can do no better than show you the information panel [in Chatsworth blue rather than Conservative blue presumably] that explains why it is so called.

An unnamed sculpture ... at Chatsworth
Still on the topic of what else I saw at Chatsworth [other than Barry Flanagan's sculptures] I'm moving on to an unusual piece.
There was no name on it or near it and having done a search in Google I could find out nothing about it. Perhaps I will have to buy the Chatsworth guidebook.
It's a slightly unattractive piece to me almost as though all the meat has been boiled off the head of an ox and then the skull has been rammed on a post ...
It's a strong piece though. Heavy and uncompromising.
It's stuck between two ends of a hedge behind a seat ...
That may well be the best position for it from a Health and Safety aspect, of course.
