The Prince at the Devonshire House Ball in 1897

“The Hall, a Tudor pile… looks over a wide expanse of lawn, ornamented with fine old walnut trees, copper beeches and pink chestnuts…”. “view through the great reception hall… with its crimson leather furniture, old oak wainscoting… to the sunlit old English garden with its clipped yews and rose arches”. (From an interview with Prince Victor Duleep Singh reproduced in the The Bury and Norwich Post, 27-Sep-1898).
