Formerly the 14th century Great Gatehouse of Beaulieu Abbey, Palace House is set
in glorious grounds and gardens
with immaculate spreading lawns and walkways overlooking
the Beaulieu River.
The House has been in Lord Montagu's family ownership since
1538, when Sir Thomas Wriothesley, later 1st Earl of Southampton, bought the Estate
after the Dissolution of the Monasteries.

Lord Henry Scott, the first resident owner of Palace House, extended
it in the 1870's
to accommodate his growing family. The architect was Sir Arthur Blomfield and the
House you see today is a mixture of Victorian Gothic, medieval Gothic and 18th century
fortification styles.
The monastic origins of the House are evident and, once inside, visitors soon succumb
to its friendly atmosphere as they view the many splendid and varied family treasures,
portraits, photographs and memorabilia.
Above all, Palace House remains a family home still lived in by the present Lord Montagu and his family and much loved by them.
