One of the places that we visited in England was Petworth House, a 17th-century estate owned by the National Trust. It is a truly great house with fabulous grounds and gardens. It is noted for its fantastic art collection. They own many paintings by J.M.W. Turner and other English artists. One piece that I liked was The Nativity by Benjamin West. It is a cartoon for a window that West was to paint in St. George's Chapel at Windsor.
