The original Manor House was built in 1660 and took the form of a three bay Jacobean Manor. It wasn’t until 1828 when the Estate was purchased by Sir Joseph Neeld, a London solicitor that many of the changes started to evolve. Sir Joseph was fortunate enough to inherit a large fortune from his silversmith uncle, which enabled him to redesign the house to represent that which you still see today.

Our new toy: The Godox AD200

December 6, 2017 David Graham

In November 2017 we invested in a new flash system made by Godox. This is a highly portable flash with no annoying wires to trip over. We have used it four times now and have a better understanding of the Pro's and Con's now.

Pro's: Light, easy to pack, quick to charge, very portable, rugged, feels well made, provides plenty of light, easy to setup, simple controls, long battery life (whole wedding), battery very easy to change, good audible beep, fast recycle on the right settings.

Con's: Very dim back display (hard to see on location), has gone into temp protection mode twice now which slows down the work flow, screw mountings need improvement, modelling light is poor.

Overall we have been very happy with this new addition and would recommend it to anyone looking for a fast and effective lighting solution.
