Broughton
Castle
“About
the most beautiful castle in all England ... for sheer loveliness
of the combination of water, woods and picturesque buildings.”
A generous tribute from historian
Sir Charles Oman in 1898, and one continued by the noted
diarist James Lees-Milne in a 1989 entry"It is still
the most romantic house imaginable. English to the core,
as Henry James says. ... Perfection, what with moat, gatehouse,
church, and gorgeous orange and buff stone". A more
recent accolade came in 2003 in England's Thousand Best
Houses by Sir Simon Jenkins. The author gives only twenty
of the thousand houses five stars - and Broughton Castle
is proud to be one of them.
