Fix this textSIR HENRY PARKES WAS BORN IN THE SHADOW OF STONELEIGH ABBEY
Fix this textTHE immense and beautiful mansion of Stoneleigh Abbey, standing in
Fix this textits spacious parkland beside the River Avon in Warwickshire, was built
Fix this textin the regal eighteenth-century style before income tax had been invented.
Fix this textThe property belongs to Lord Leigh, who lives in part of the mansion which
Fix this textstands upon the site formerly occupied by a twelfth-century Cistercian
Fix this textAbbey Church. Apart from the gatehouse, no external traces of the Abbey
Fix this textnow remain, but portions of the monastical buildings are incorporated in the
Fix this textvaulted undercroft beneath one wing of the house.
Fix this textStoneleigh Abbey was the first of many monasteries destroyed by
Fix this textHenry VIII, and it remained a ruin until purchased in 1561 by a rich mer-
Fix this textchant, Thomas Leigh, who built on the site of the monastery a spacious
Fix this textElizabethan house. Thomas Leigh became Lord Mayor of London, and it
Fix this textwas he who welcomed Queen Elizabeth. I to the City of London in 1558,
Fix this textfor which service he was knighted.
Fix this textIn 1714 Lord Leigh replaced the west wing with the massive and beauti-
Fix this textfully proportioned Italianate west block which is one of the most graceful
Fix this textand famous of Stoneleigh’s many noble features. It is in this west block
Fix this textthat are situated the superbly furnished and decorated state rooms which
Fix this textare open to the public.
Fix this textOne of the most magnificent of these rooms is the white and gold
Fix this textSaloon conceived on the grandest scale and expressed in plaster work by
Fix this textCipriani. It was the scene of a banquet given for Queen Victoria and tne
Fix this textPrince Consort on the occasion of their visit to Stoneleigh in 1858. On me
Fix this textfirst floor is a suite of rooms, complete even to a pincushion, tised by
Fix this textQueen Victoria, and in Prince Albert’s Bedroom is the ornate Hapsburg
Fix this textBed which once belonged to Napoleon's second wife, the Empiess Mane
Fix this textLouise. Other magnificent apartments are the Velvet Drawing Room,
Fix this textupholstered in the original crimson velvet of 1724; the Gilt Hall containing a
Fix this textremarkable Elizabethan armorial window; and the spacious library in wliicn
Fix this textis exhibited, among many other treasures, a locket containing a lock ot
Fix this textPrince Charlie’s hair. Bonnie Prince Charlie, under _ the assumed name ol
Fix this textMr. Fox, took refuge at Stoneleigh Abbey and is said to have been
Fix this textsmuggled away in a wine barrel.
Fix this textStoneleigh was the birthplace of Sir Henry Parkes (1815-96), known as
Fix this textthe “Father of the Australian Commonwealth.”
