Review by Clive Joynsen-Powell, 26/12/2009   

I'm an Australian living in NSW Australia. 1952 to 1953 I spent my time at Wotton House as a school pupil. The head master from memory was Mr Lester who very much reminded me of Henry V111 in looks. The school at the time was named Cokethorpe Grammar. As a boarding school it was wonderful and left me with many great memories, not only of the building and the surroundings but the boys as well. My dormitory was the top floor on the right of the building looking face on.I would imagine after restoration it would be magnificent. My family and I visited England in 1966 and went to Wotton, and frankly it had pretty much stayed the same. My mind still wonder back fishing on the surrounding 25 acres of lake and the great grounds. The building is well worth the entry. You must also visit the chapel down the road.

Unfortunately I have only seen Wotton House from the outside, yet I must say I have fallen in love with the place, it has an enchanting feel. All I need to do now is save up enough money to buy it!

Selected: Loseley Park

The Loseley Estate was acquired by direct ancestors of the current owners at the beginning of the 16th Century and Loseley House was built between 1562 and 1568. The previous much smaller house was not considered by Elizabeth I as adequate for her to stay in and she 'requested' that something more substantial should be built! The House, which is the More-Molyneux family's home, has a number of rooms which are open to the public during the Summer Season.
