The impressive Rotunda at Ickworth was the grand Italianate design of the Bishop -Earl, 4th Earl of Bristol, who never lived to see it but the building was eventually completed by his descendants. Nine members enjoyed a tour of the House where we were able to view portraits and treasures including an extraordinary collection of silver jointed fish which were designed to be used as scent bottles and vinaigrettes. After a lunch on the patio in warm sunshine we walked round the beautiful grounds with a variety of routes on a raised plateau with a vista of the rolling Suffolk uplands. The stumpery proved to be an intriguing surprise in a secluded woodland area. Members attending: Ros Burgess, Sally and Paul Hartley, Arturo and Marita Martinez, Nina Zealey, Patrick O’Donehue, Lynette Kimata and Nicky Rodgers.
