Bowater Vernon, the big spender

Coming home to Hanbury Hall

This year we're celebrating different places that five key generations of the Vernon family visited or were inspired by. In May, visitors can discover more about Bowater Vernon (1683 - 1735) and how he was inspired by the Chinese fashions and trends of the day. See some of the items he commissioned for Hanbury.
