Lydiard House, Lydiard Park, Swindon; The house and its 260 acre (105 hectare) estate were bought by Swindon Corporation from the then owners in 1943 for, as best I can recall reading, a four-figure sum. It must be worth millions now. It is a Palladian house with a history extending back centuries. More can be read here http://www.swindon.gov.uk/leisuresport/parksandgardens/parkslydiard/leisure-parkslydiardhouse.htm and here http://www.swindonweb.com/leis/placlydi0.htm The prime mover behind the purchase was David Murray John, Town Clerk of the Council from 1939 to 1974. See his memorial here https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/281394
Footpath from Lydiard Millicent to Lydiard Tregoze There are three Lydiards: Green, Millicent and Tregoze. Lydiard Millicent is the largest. The footpath can be made out leading away from the viewpoint in between the buttercups.

This is the church my parents married in, where I was baptised, and my grandparents ashes are buried and I love to walk round the small churchyard when I go to Bassett.
