St. Leonard's Hill, Clewer, 1895. 'St. Leonard's Hill, the seat of Mr. F. T. Barry, M.P., where the Prince and Princess of Wales resided during the Ascot Week. For the purposes of attending the Ascot Races, the fine residence of Mr. Francis Tress Barry, M.P., at Clewer, was placed at the disposal of the Prince and Princess of Wales [future King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra]. It is not very far from Windsor Castle, and has every convenience for the royal guests. On Monday afternoon, June 17, the Prince and Princess, with their two daughters, the Duchess of York, the Duke of Cambridge, and Prince Edward of Saxe-Weimar, left London for Windsor, whence they drove to St. Leonard's Hill. In the evening there was a dinner-party. The way from the house to Ascot racecourse lies through very picturesque scenery, and the royal party thoroughly enjoyed their stay in the country'. From "Illustrated London News", 1895.
