Historically, the trust tended to focus on
English country houses, which still make up the largest part of its holdings, but it also protects historic landscapes such as in the Lake District, historic urban properties, and
nature reserves.
English: Painted in the year of her marriage to Lionel Tollemache, 1648. A three-quarter-length portrait of Elizabeth Murray as a young woman, turned to left, gazing at the spectator, wearing low cut blue satin dress over white undership (shown at neckline and inner sleeves). The dress is fastened down the bodice with five rows of triple pearls culminating at the waist with a ribboned bow. A brown silk /satin scarf is held in her left hand. She wears a single rope pearl necklace, high on the neck. Red hair, falling softly to the shoulders and dressed at the back with a crown of plait. To left, wild landscape background with rocks and trees. She gestures with her right hand towards the central feature of the landscape, a waterfall. The cloudy sky, the rocks and trees are all depicted in a pink glow of late evening.
