The launch will take place at one of Norfolk’s most famous and beautiful homes, Raynham Hall. ‘In all of England there are few lovelier houses than Raynham’ John Julius Norwich said of it.

The lavishly illustrated book, with over 500 pictures through twenty three separate chapters, and 480 pages, retails at £30 and will be available at Raynham at a specially discounted price.
