When Kingston Lacy was gifted to the National Trust in 1981, it was our largest ever bequest. This jewel box of a house, fashioned into a grand Italian palazzo in the 1830s, holds one of the UK’s finest private collections of paintings. There are also magnificent sculptures, beautiful furniture, and superb artefacts brought back by the intrepid traveller, William John Bankes (1786-1855).
