Boughton House
Boughton House, the Northamptonshire home of the Duke of Buccleuch is a Tudor manor house transformed into a vision of Louis XIV's Versailles. The house displays a staggering collection of fine art including paintings, furniture, porcelain, weapons, and textiles - including stunning pieces created for the French Royal Family. The gardens and landscape, originally created to provide vistas, avenues, water features and formality are presently being restored - with key elements of the Grade 1 listed Landscape recreated. The Duke commissioned Kim Wilkie to design a striking new landform - Orpheus which both compliments and enhances the older landscape created by his ancestors.
