Another visit to Harlaxton Manor nr. Grantham, Lincs., the residence of several pieces of statuary originally at Witley Court until 1938. The grotto at the rear of the building is now nearing completion of its rebuild following a subsidence problem. The bronze lions have been temporarily removed from their plinths at the entrance gates for restoration purposes but all other items remains in place.
