Step through those private doors, explore usually unseen areas, join me on the roof, and explore derelict areas.

Through my prints (digital download) photo books and calendars (coming soon) , I invite you to bring the beauty of these historic houses into your life and home.
New prints are released regularly, so check back often.
Every photo I take on my visit will be available, no matter how unremarkable the area may be, I want you to see everything I saw, step by step.
It’s all about the atmosphere

The number of Stately Homes I’ve visited must be in the thousands, both private and institutional .
I try to use my camera to capture the very special atmosphere which is prevalent at all of these houses, every one has its own feel and charm.
I always comment that no matter what the weather, they all like to show off for me, the houses do all the work, I just know when to click the camera.
My Background

My Background
My name is Christopher Skelton-Davies and I’m a self professed Architectural Historian and Country House photographer.
I’ve blended a life long passion and extensive knowledge of these historic buildings , with an eye for beauty and skills in photography, which has led me to having one of the UK’s most popular Instagram accounts on the subject of the Country House- @country_house_obsession.
This website has been set up to hold the vast number of photos I have taken over the years, and to enable people to see every photo I took at each property as not all of them are featured on Instagram.
