More about this scene
By far the most impressive building in the parish, the Tudor mansion, with its octagonal wing turrets and a 50 acre park landscaped by Humphrey Repton in 1790, was the result of the redevelopment of a smaller house by the 10th Lord Cobham. Queen Elizabeth I slept here in 1559, and so did Charles II and his new bride in 1660. In 1882, it was to Cobham Hall that English cricketers brought the Ashes from Australia for the first time. The Hall became a girls' school in 1957.
