I've done a little more fiddling with perspective correction and find that it's possible to achieve reasonable results by squeezing the bottom. Using distort makes it possible to work from one side only. I've added a slightly improved picture of the manor house here:
http://picasaweb.google.com/don.donwilliams/Converted?stop=1 The bottom left hand corner was moved inwards about 7 mm -- on my screen. Although the building still slopes inwards -- it would be unnatural if it didn't -- the flagpole and the left hand edge match the right better than in the original. Finding a place from which to take the picture was not easy. There are trees and other obstructions including a steep bank to roll down backwards. It was also necessary to zoom wide -- 28mm -- and this contributes to the distortion of the verticals. I could not get the top of the lightning conductor in the picture without distorting the picture grossly. The only wide lens I have is the Tokina 28 - 70. I got rid of a Sigma 24-70 because it was not very sharp.
