28 October 2009 - Antony House

A grey and overcast visit to Antony House. The building of the present house at Antony was started in 1720 by Sir William Carew. There have been Carews at Antony since the early 15th century. The house was placed in the care of the National trust in 1961. The Carew family still live in the house. Follow this link to the NT site for the house.
