Step back in time and explore the rich history of these magnificent historic houses. From the enchanting Stanbury House in Morwenstow, Cornwall to the grand Costessey Hall in Norfolk, each holds its own story waiting to be discovered. In 1958, a snapshot of royalty was captured at Sandringham as our future kings, the Prince of Wales and the Duke of York, graced its grounds. The engraving immortalizes this momentous occasion for generations to come. Speaking of royal visits, Costessey Hall had its fair share when it welcomed the Prince and Princess of Wales. The elegant hall stood proud as they explored its exquisite rooms and admired its timeless beauty. Traveling further afield brings us to Peter the Great's Palace and House depicted in an intriguing engraving. This regal residence showcases opulence fit for a king, leaving visitors awe-struck by its magnificence. Venturing southward leads us to Rochester Castle in Kent - a true testament to medieval architecture. Its imposing presence tells tales of battles fought and victories won throughout centuries gone by. Brocket Hall stands as a reminder that even great leaders meet their end within these hallowed walls. Lord Palmerston's passing marked an end to an era at this Hatfield estate where history echoes through every corridor. Barrington Court beckons with charm from Somersetshire - an idyllic retreat nestled amidst picturesque landscapes. Its tranquil surroundings offer solace from modern-day chaos while allowing glimpses into past lives lived within those very walls. Tonacombe Manor exudes timeless elegance against Cornwall's breathtaking backdrop. In 1958, it showcased both exterior and interior splendor that left all who beheld it captivated by its gracefulness. The Polurrian Hotel takes us on another journey through time with an enchanting glimpse into Mullion's past from 1899. A place where memories were made against stunning coastal vistas, it remains a testament to the enduring allure of Cornwall.
