Nottingham Cottage, Royal residence in Kensington Gardens, England
Nottingham Cottage features red brick walls, low ceilings, and covers 1,324 square feet within the grounds of Kensington Palace in London.
Christopher Wren designed this dwelling, which originated from Nottingham House, sold by Daniel Finch to William III and Mary II in 1689.
The cottage maintains British royal traditions as a grace-and-favour residence, provided to royal family members and senior courtiers without rent.

Marion Crawford received Victorian furnishings and floral prints from Queen Mary as decoration for her tenure in the cottage from 1948.
