| Description | "One of the most luxurious of English mansions, Eaton Hall, the seat of the Duke of Westminster, is also one of the most accessible to the traveller and holiday maker. You may journey thither from Chester by public brake in less than half an hour, and wander at will among its spacious chambers and beautiful gardens. Admission is by ticket—procurable for one shilling—and the proceeds are devoted to charitable purposes. In the gardens are preserved a Roman altar discovered at Chester, and a Greek sacrificial altar brought from Delphi. Among the art treasures contained in the house are some works of Rubens and several family portraits by Millais. In a corridor is a collection of portraits of famous race-horses. The present building, Florid Gothic in style, was erected by Waterhouse in 1870-82. The previous mansion had been demolished about 1860." | ||
