For over five generations, the Gascoigne-Simpson family owned Bumforth Manor, a crumbling draughty pile of dubious architectural merit near Grantham in Lincolnshire.

The Bumforth Manor pictures are just a few from a large number of glass plates discovered in the attic. These plates languished undiscovered, for over a hundred years in a lead-lined oak chest which bore the initials S.H.G.S.

They are undoubtedly the work of Nick's Great Grandfather Samuel Heracles Gascoigne-Simpson (1839-1910), who was a disciple of William Henry Fox Talbot - widely considered to be the Father of Photography.
