Title: Palmer family at Marlston, 1906 [Go to resource]
Description: George William Palmer is seated inside the canopy, his wife Eleanor is far left. The young women are Eleanor's nieces from her family, the Barretts. As one of the girls has a croquet mallet they must have been enjoying a match on the lawns of Marlston House. George Palmer purchased the Marlston estate of 1,170 acres near Newbury in 1880. He spent little time there and in 1896 transferred it to his eldest son, George William Palmer. George William rebuilt the house in an Elizabethan style designed by Edward Burgess.
