EDITORS COMMENTS
Easton Neston in Northamptonshire, England, serves as the hunting seat for the Empress of Austria during the foxhunting season of 1876. This picturesque hamlet, located near Towcester and just a few miles from Blisworth station of the London and North-Western Railway, was once the property of the extinct Earl of Pomfret. The impressive stone mansion and its surrounding parkland were built in the early 18th century, with designs by Sir Christopher Wren and Nicholas Hawksmoor. The house, a beautiful blend of Baroque and English architectural styles, is situated next to the local churchyard. Originally owned by Lord Lempster, the estate's grounds offer a serene and idyllic retreat, filled with lush greenery, trees, and plants. This photograph, taken by Vernon Heath in 1876 for the Illustrated London News, captures the timeless beauty and charm of Easton Neston, a true testament to the grandeur of rural England during the 19th century.
