More about this scene
The old lords of Kingston were the Norman nobles, the Lacys, but this palatial Restoration house was built in 1663-5 for Sir Ralph Bankes, the son of the former attorney general Sir John. It was extensively modified and augmented between 1835-46 by Sir Charles Barry, at the behest of W J Bankes, the friend of Lord Byron, who had amassed a superb collection of paintings and wished to show them to their best advantage.
