Title: Broadlands, Romsey, 1857 [Go to resource]
Description: The Broadlands estate belonged to Romsey Abbey in Medieval times and in 1736 it became the home of the first Lord Palmerston. He altered the flow of the River Test to enhance the view from the house. It was his son, who almost completely rebuilt the house in the Palladian style and who employed Capability Brown to landscape the gardens. It later became the home of Lord Louis Mountbatten, Earl Mountbatten of Burma. Original print (from engraving): by Rock & Co., London. No.3314. Dated 2 April 1857. Copy photograph.
