Polesden Lacey, Regency country house in Great Bookham, England.
Polesden Lacey features symmetrical wings surrounding a central courtyard, with Ionic columns adorning the exterior of this Grade II listed building.
The country house, built between 1821 and 1824 by architect Thomas Cubitt for Joseph Bonsor, underwent extensions by Sir Ambrose Poynter in the 1900s.
William McEwan gathered Dutch Old Masters paintings, Italian majolica, and fine porcelain collections, now displayed throughout the mansion's decorated rooms.
The National Trust maintains guided tours through the mansion's grand entrance hall, oak staircase, dining room, and surrounding manicured gardens.
Mrs. Greville inherited the estate from her father and transformed it into a center for Edwardian society gatherings, hosting royalty and politicians.
