Broadlands
|
|
(13km/8m N of Southampton) Originally a 16C house, transformed into a Palladian one by Capability *Brown (in his less usual role of architect) with additions by his son-in-law, Henry *Holland. Brown also landscaped the park. This work was done for the father of Lord *Palmerston, and more recently Broadlands has been the home of Lord *Mountbatten. Both men are commemorated by displays in the house.
