Kingston Lacy
Kingston Lacy
Kingston Lacy house was built in the 17th century by lawyer Ralph Bankes, the family's original home had been Corfe Castle which was destroyed in the English Civil War in 1646. The original Kingston Hall was a two-storey red brick house which was remodelled in 1784 for Henry Bankes as the house we see today. The house remained in the Bankes family until the house and its estate which included Corfe Castle was bequeathed to the National Trust on the death of Ralph Bankes who died in 1981. By then the house was in a sorry state and has been much restored since then.
