ID 73422375 © Sandraipswich | Megapixl.com
Originally founded as an Augustinian priory in 1201, the house has seen a number of transformations over the last 800 years, shaped by its many and varied owners. When society hostess and art lover Maud Russell and her banker husband, Gilbert, purchased Mottisfont in 1934, the buildings were in a state of disrepair. They modernised the house and estate, and it became a place for extravagant house parties held for their literary and artistic friends.
