| "...Diana
is safely back at home, where her mortal remains can be cared for, and
where her memory lives on forever" |
| The
Earl Spencer |
| |
| Althorp has been
home to the Spencer Family since 1508. On 6th September 1997 the Park became
the focal point for the World’s attention, when Diana, Princess of Wales
was laid to rest there after her tragically early death. She now lies on
the island in the Round Oval, an ornamental lake, surrounded by her Family’s
ancestral heritage. |
 |
| Next to the
mansion at Althorp, with its magnificent art collection, lies the honey-stoned
Stable Block; a truly breathtaking building that is perhaps of greater
external beauty than the House itself.
This is the setting for the
centre for visitors, opening in Summer 1998, which will house an exhibition
celebrating the former Lady Diana Spencer’s life and honouring her memory
after her death. The freshness and modernity of the facilities will be
a unique tribute to a woman who captivated the world in her all-too-brief
existence. |
