Ever heard of the flamboyant couple Colonel John Dale Lace and his wife Josephine Dale Lace (José in short)?

Come and join us when we tour this couple’s prominent 52 rooms stunner of a house. And guess who was the architect behind it? The one and only Sir Herbert Baker. The curator has promised some ‘juicy’ stories about this mansion and its interesting owner who lived in it.
