in 1876 by the de Rothschild family and considerably transformed
and enlarged. It houses an exceptional collection of fine
paintings, Oriental porcelain and English and French furniture. The
extensive gardens are a mixture of the formal and natural,
containing specimen trees and shrubs, an herbaceous border, lily
pond, Dutch garden and remarkable topiary sundial. This property is
