Légende

Easton Neston, Northamptonshire, the Hunting-Seat of the Empress of Austria, from a photograph by Vernon Heath, 1876. 'This place, where the Empress of Austria has chosen her temporary residence for the foxhunting season, enjoying that fine English sport in company with the ex-Queen and ex King of Naples, is a hamlet adjoining Towcester, in Northamptonshire, three or four miles from the Blisworth station of the London and North-Western Railway. The mansion and park here situate formerly belonged to the Earl of Pomfret, a title of peerage now extinct. The house, a fine stone building, was erected by Lord Lempster, in the early part of the last century, from a design by Sir Christopher Wren, but partly by Hawkesmoor. Its grounds...adjoin the churchyard'. From "Illustrated London News", 1876.
