Summary
William Gladstone, King Edward VII of England, Winston Churchill - if the roll call of visitors to Warren House, one of the finest Victorian stately homes in the south of England, is impressive, then the wider cast of characters associated with the House and its owners is a veritable Who's Who of the political, cultural and social elite of their day. Owner George Cawston was an original board member of Cecil Rhodes' British South Africa Company; Tsar Nicholas II and Empress Consort Alexandra received his successor Arthur Paget; while other denizens of Warren House inspired characters in the works of Edith Wharton and Henry James. This is a social tale of individual lives, enriched by the first-hand accounts of two former residents - nurse Lilian Philips who lived and worked at the House during the Second World War, and former Serbian refugee - now Canadian citizen - Bill Pazaratz. The fascinating text is enriched by beautiful illustrations of the House and its splendid gardens, past and present.
