Bramshill  Hampshire

 

In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Bramshill like this:

BRAMSHILL (Great and Little), two tythings in Eversley parish, Hants; 3½ miles N by E of Winchfield. Real property, £1,428. Pop., 154. Houses, 32. Bramshill House was built by the eleventh Lord Zouch, as a residence for Prince Henry, son of James I.; is now the seat of Sir William Cope; and exhibits interesting features, both external and internal, of the age in which it was erected. ...


The grounds around it are extensive and picturesque. Abbot, archbishop of Canterbury, accidentally killed a man while shooting in the park; and the Duke of Wellington often came hither on visits from Stratfieldsaye.
