	Cragside - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Cragside is a country house near Rothbury in Northumberland, England.
		Cragside, named after Cragend Hill above the house, was built in 1863 as a modest, two-storey country lodge, but was subsequently extended to designs by Norman Shaw, transforming it into an elaborate mansion in the Free Tudor style.
		The house is surrounded by one of Europe's largest rock gardens, and a large collection of mostly coniferous trees, among which one Douglas-fir 59 m tall is the tallest tree in England.

	David Salkeld Sculpture
		In the 'Feeders' at Summerhill the idea was that the space around the sculpture would be charged with the sense of imbalance while the terminations at the tops of the upright members foil the upward thrust that would otherwise extend indefinitely.
		The gateway pieces at Cragside were intended to mark footpaths and also to define the boundary of the Labyrinth.
		The siting of these pieces at Cragside over footpaths meant that the public are invited or even obliged to participate in the sculpture by walking through it.

		Northumberland is the fifth least densely populated county in England, and our guided tour takes us via moorland to the large country estate of Lord William George Armstrong, Tyneside industrialist and Baron.
		Cragside House was designed specially for him and welcomed holiday visitors such as the Prince and Princess of Wales, Japanese Emperors, and Ulysses S Grant who came to negotiate ship-building deals for the Tyneside shipyards.
		However, it was an individual's house - see the early dishwasher, electric gong for calling 'dinner', splendid 'jacuzzi' and wonderful expanding dining table - all revolutionary and labour-saving in their day.

	Phryne - Evelyn Pickering De Morgan at Cragside
		The title suggests one of Wiertz' purple compositions, but in fact the action consists of no more than a rich man enjoying his garden, although he is in somewhat unconvincing 'moral torment', supervised by a small demon.
		A mordant picture for Cragside, perhaps, but in fact and understandably it was not part of the original collection.
		A literary and technical elaboration: the subject is a poem by Morris, in which the unlucky prisoner is sentenced to read improving tracts by St Augustine.
