Ham house

Fronting the Thames at Richmond is a 1620s house, home to aristocrats who managed to survive the Civil War despite being buddies of Charles I. The menfolk debunked to France leaving the women to avoid the destruction of the Puritan army. How they managed this was not detailed.

The walled gardens appealed more than the rich decorations and opulent lifestyle of the house. Maybe a little touch of jaundiced jetlag?
