Bulstrode Park
Bulstrode Park was owned by the Dukes of Somerset from circa 1809, being rebuilt in its present form by Edward Adolphus Seymour, 12th Duke of Somerset, (circa 1804-1885). When the 12th Duke died there was no male heir so the house, its contents and the estate passed to his eldest daughter, Lady Helen Guendolen Ramsden, who in turn passed it to her son Sir John Frecheville Ramsden.
Sir John sold many of the contents of the house at a two day sale held onsite by Christie's in 1932 but retained the house.
