Title: Broadlands in Hampshire, the seat of Lord Palmerston [Go to resource]
Description: The house is a fine example of the Palladian style. In the print we can see the main elevation of nine bays with a giant central Ionic portico of four columns with entablature and pediment. The portico is approached by a flight of steps between flanking bastion walls. It is faced with yellow brick, fashionable in the late eighteenth century. Broadlands Lake is in front. The house as we see it was rebuilt in 1767-8, designed by Lancelot (Capability) Brown, with additions by Henry Holland. In 1787, it was the seat of Henry Temple, 2nd Viscount Palmerston, father of the mid-nineteenth-century Prime Minister. It was later the home of Lord Louis Mountbatten.
