Description
Lovely gardens surround Beaulieu Palace House, Beaulieu, Hampshire, United Kingdom.
Originally built as the gatehouse of Beaulieu Abbey, following the Dissolution of the Monasteries, the estate was purchased by Sir Thomas Wriothesley, later 1st Earl of Southampton, in 1538. The house passed through marriage into the Montagu family and is still owned by the 1st Earl's descendant, the 4th Baron Montagu of Beaulieu.[
The house was extended in the 16th century, and again in the 19th century, and is today a fine example of a Gothic country house.
