Cottages line the old village
green while the gates to beautiful Mentmore Towers
peer out enticingly. The house is an exemplary
slice of Victoriana and the finest surviving work
of the man who built the Crystal Palace, Sir
Joseph Paxton. Built from stone and boasting a
glass roof, the astounding property was created in
1852 for Baron Meyer de Rothschild. |
