Eastwell Park: the house, from the fields, 1895. 'There was formerly free access to this park for all comers, but here, as elsewhere in Kent, stray visitors despoiled the trees, and now the ill behaviour of some has closed the grounds to all.' Eastwell Park, near Ashford in Kent, in England, was owned by the Earls of Winchilsea for more than three centuries. It was used as a royal residence from 1874 to 1893 for Prince Alfred, Duke of Edinburgh. From "Illustrated London News", 1895.
