Welcome to Deene Park

 

A most interesting house, occupied and developed by the Brudenell family since 1514, from a mediaeval manor around a courtyard into a Tudor and Georgian mansion.  Visitors see many rooms of different periods, providing an impressive yet intimate ambience of the family home of many generations.  The most flamboyant member of the family to date was the 7th Earl of Cardigan, who led the charge of the Light Brigade at Balaklava and of whom there are many historic relics and pictures on view.

 

Mr. Edmund Brudenell, the current owner, has taken considerable care in restoring the house after the Second World War.  The gardens have also been improved during the last thirty years or so, with long, mixed borders of shrubs, old-fashioned roses and flowers.

 

The rooms on view are regularly used by the family and their friends and contain a large collection of family portraits, furniture and memorabilia.
