More about this scene

Althorp dates back to the 16th century. At that time John Spencer, a Warwickshire sheep farmer, acquired the estate and created a park of some 300 acres here. Building work began in 1573, in the reign of Elizabeth I, and the house has been the home of the Spencer family ever since.
