| Description |
English: A distant prospect of Saint Leonard's Hill in Clewer, Windsow, Berkshire, England, UK, after 1773. It was the seat of Field Marshall William Harcourt, 3rd Earl Harcourt (20 March 1743 – 17 June 1830), and the place where he died. According to the source (p. 280 of the PDF; the pages of the book are unnumbered), "[t]he accompanying view is taken from a point in Windsor Forest, which was politely pointed out by the Countess of Harcourt. This view (which shows but little of the building) gives, perhaps, the best idea of its beautiful situation; showing, at the same time, the Town and Castle of Windsor, with the surrounding Country."
The original house was expanded by Maria Walpole, the Countess Dowager of Waldegrave. Following her marriage to Prince William Henry, Duke of Gloucester and Edinburgh, in 1766, the house was generally known as Gloucester Lodge. In 1781 His Royal Highness sold the property to John Macnamara who did not reside there, and Macnamara resold it in March 1783 to General Harcourt: p. 279 of the PDF. The site later formed part of Windsor Safari Park and is now within Legoland Windsor Resort. |
