The Ladies of Deene Tour

March 10 @ 11:00 - 16:00
£47
With Mothers Day approaching, Deene Park is offering a day to remember.  Perfect for history lovers, learn about the colourful lives of the ladies who have called Deene Park their home. From Elizabeth, the 3rd Countess of Cardigan, who helped to create The Foundling Hospital, to Mary Tresham and her turbulent struggle to save her husband from imprisonment during the Civil War.  Learn about the flamboyant and eccentric Adeline Horsey de Horsey who scandalised Victorian society by eloping to Gibraltar to marry the 7th Earl of Cardigan (of Charge of the Light Brigade fame), 27 years her senior.
This historic building echoes with the lives of each chatelaine, brought to life by our knowledgeable guide. Afterwards enjoy lunch in our Old Kitchen Tearoom and then enjoy the stunning formal gardens.
