More about this scene
This outstanding red brick Stuart house was built in 1610 and was much admired. John Evelyn wrote in his diary in 1678: 'After dinner, I walked to Ham, to see the house and garden of the Duke of Lauderdale, which is indeede inferior to few of the best villas in Italy itself; the house is furnished like a great Prince's'. WHITTON, The Military
