L3352 Mum's Tickled Pink
Great Bookham, Surrey
7 cm High (2.7 ins) 8.5 cm Wide (3.3 ins) 7 cm Deep (2.7 ins)
Owned by the National Trust, Garden Cottage is available as a holiday let.
Our delightful cottage has been inspired by a nineteenth-century former gardener's cottage situated in the grounds of Polesden Lacey Estate, Surrey. Given its location right next to the rose garden it is little wonder that our inhabitant is 'tickled pink' by the rosy hues of the pretty gardens we have incorporated into our scene.
Polesden Lacey is perhaps most famous for two of its previous owners: Richard Brinsley Sheridan (1751-1816), playwright, poet, owner of the London Theatre Royal, and statesman; and The Hon Mrs Ronald Greville, Edwardian socialite and hostess extraordinaire, whose life evolved around entertaining and parties.
Set within the Surrey Hills and enjoying magnificent valley views across the North Downs it proved to be the perfect venue for entertaining her rich and famous friends including King George VI and Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother, who honeymooned here in 1923.
