John Sales VMH, gardener (May 1, 1933 - December 29, 2022)

For 25 years, from 1973-98, he was in charge of the National Trust’s parks and gardens, at a time when the nation embraced garden visiting on a scale never seen before.

Donald Sales’s time as head of gardens left the trust with the healthiest, best managed, historically and stylistically most diverse portfolio of gardens the world may ever know.

A walled garden at Nymans, West Sussex - The 14th-century moated Scotney Castle, Kent - Westbury Court, Gloucestershire - Tatton Park, Knutsford, Cheshire - The formal cherry garden at Ham House, Richmond upon Thames - Powis Castle and Garden, in Powys - Biddulph Grange Garden, Staffordshire - The gardens at Erdigg, Wrexham - Tatton Park, Knutsford, Cheshire - The restored Dutch water garden at Westbury Court, Gloucestershire.

Is it possible for this blog to show house floorplan blueprints of Ciel's main mansion, Ciel's townhouse, and the Midford mansion? I'm just wanting to know how extragantly the Phantomhives and the Midfords live.

Floor plans

We only have partial floor plans for Phantomhive Manor, which are shown in the murders arc. I could figure out a bit more of it, but it would take a while, be very incomplete... and possibly still include mistakes. Since the panels are so closed-in when our earl runs through the house and finds his parents and the dog on the floor, dead, idk if that scene occurs in the bedroom or in the front room of their suite. Quite possibly the front room.

I imagine the floor plans for the townhouse match well with Phantom Manor in Paris. It might even have some underground space, like the entrance to the amusement ride does... just not serving the same purposes. Then again, Phantom Manor is more facade than real home, so its floor plan might be missing a room or two that would be found in the Phantomhive townhouse. I'm not sure.

Similarly, the floor plans for Midford Manor probably match well enough with Scotney House, part of the Scotney Castle estate.

However, I find it particularly difficult to get a floor plan for it, since it's been split up into apartments/flats for many years.

At least we know there's a secret door in the library and two false doors in the dining room.
