Stained glass window

I visited Bicton gardens today with Stella2. We just happened to be next to the Hermitage which is opened occasionally and one of the guides was just coming to open up. It’s a Victorian summerhouse constructed in 1839 and the floor is made up of deer bones, knuckle ends 
 It’s not thought the stained glass windows were there originally as they would have blocked the views across the garden. There were several red admiral butterflies flying around a large oak tree. I believe they may have recently hatched and were drying out their wings in the sunshine, 
We have had dark clouds all afternoon but no sign of the promised rain.
