This aerial shot shows a different view of an ancient site built for the Knights Templar.
A camera mounted on a drone took a series of photos of Cressing Temple, between Braintree and Witham, showing the oak barns built during the 13th century, and the Tudor walled garden.
Rebecca Ashbey, a horticulturalist at Essex County Council, which owns the site, said: "The photos were taken by a member of staff who had a drone for Christmas.
"The pictures really show the structure of the garden off to great effect."
