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 ...
... 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.
