A sketch of Tudor Close, Dr. Black’s ancestral home

A little background info on the estate:

Nestled with the ancient New Forest, Tudor Close has been the home the illustrious Black family, one of the most prominent and wealthiest families in England, for many centuries. It is still used as a private residence as of today, with the grounds being open in select months between Spring and Summer.

Having been renovated and expanded throughout its history, the present house is a mixture of Tudor and 18th century Gothic Revival architecture, the latter being added during the Industrial Revolution.

The house is currently owned by British archaeologist Dr Henry Black (13th Earl of Ravencroft) and his wife, French chef and restauranteur Angeline White.
