Step back in time and uncover the fascinating story of Hole Park, a family estate proudly owned by the Barham family since 1911. Join Edward Barham as he shares the rich heritage of the house and gardens, along with rare portraits and unique artefacts that bring its history to life.
This year marks a very special milestone: the centenary of an iconic piece of Hole Park’s history—the family’s beautiful blue 1920s Rolls Royce. Purchased brand new in 1926 from the Rolls Royce dealership in London’s Berkeley Square, this classic motor has been in the Barham family for 100 years. Still in full working order, it recently played an important role as the wedding car for Edward and Clare’s youngest daughter, Helena.
Often seen outside the main house or on display in the Coach House Yard, the Rolls Royce is a treasured symbol of Hole Park’s enduring legacy—and just one of the many stories of not only the Barham family's ownership but the fascinating characters in past centuries that you’ll discover during this captivating tour.
