After the water colours of my Great Great Grandfather, William Catto of Aberdeen, Lady Manvers' art was the first I'd ever seen as a child. I remember on one occasion she even came into the school to select a model. I am in no doubt that seeing art as an adult "job" when I was so young, had an influence. Thoresby Park has continued to be an occasional muse. Pictured here are Thoresby Hall, The Woodyard, and various sketches of the River Meden. All are copyright Ian Gordon Craig.
