Eggington House, English country house in Eggington, England
The red brick mansion features a main facade with seven bays of classical sash windows across three stories and a parapet decorated with urns.
Built in 1696 for John Renouille, a Huguenot from Montauban who became Sheriff of Bedfordshire, the house represented innovative provincial architecture of its time.
The residence welcomed Sylvia Pankhurst around 1900 when the Hodgson family owned the property, connecting it to the suffragette movement in England.
The Grade II* listed status ensures preservation of architectural elements while permitting essential maintenance to keep the building in good condition.
The interior contains a remarkable staircase with twisted balusters, representing fine craftsmanship from the late 17th century English domestic architecture.
