A trip to Audley End

Audley End House and Gardens

King Henry VIII gave Walden Abbey to Sir Thomas Audley, who transformed it into his mansion, Audley End.
Audley End remains one of England’s grandest country homes with over 30 lavishly decorated rooms to enjoy and explore.
The sumptuous interior is largely due to the third Baron Braybrooke who inherited Audley End in 1825, filling it with treasures including paintings by Masters such as Holbein and Canaletto.
Imagine yourself back in Victorian times when visiting this place.

Only 14 miles from Cambridge, UK

Characteristics of a speaker

“Aristotle (384-322 BC), writing in the Rhetoric, suggested that Ethos, the Trust of a speaker by the listener, was based on the listener’s perception of three characteristics of the speaker.

“Aristotle believed these three characteristics to be the intelligence of the speaker (correctness of opinions, or competence), the character of the speaker (reliability - a competence factor, and honesty - a measure of intentions), and the goodwill of the speaker (favorable intentions towards the listener).”
