Billingbear House, Tudor country house in Waltham St Lawrence, England
The residence featured multiple wings with ornate chimneys, large windows, and decorative elements characteristic of Tudor architecture spanning across the Berkshire countryside.
Sir Henry Neville received the land from King Edward VI in 1549 and started building the mansion in 1567, establishing a significant estate near Windsor.
During a notable visit in 1669, an artist from Cosimo III de Medici's entourage created detailed paintings of the house, now preserved in Florence's Laurentian Library.
The house remained intact until 1924 when a fire caused its destruction, leading to the redistribution of architectural elements to other properties.
One complete room from Billingbear House crossed the Atlantic Ocean and found a new home at Pace College in Manhattan, New York.
