This is an angle I hadn’t seen before – a photo of Allington Castle as seen from the river. It was taken about 1890. (Obviously it had fallen on hard times.)
In 1905 it was purchased and partially restored by Lord and Lady Conway. The story of their purchase and renovation is fascinating. Lady Conway shares it in an antique magazine I just purchased. When I have time I will retype in full and share here. I could scan, but I think it would be very hard to read.
Sir Thomas Wyatt the Poet 
This must have been shortly before Allington was purchased by Sir Martin Conway – see the following blog on the work he and his daughter did. The ivy was 6′ deep in some places!
