Description
A history of Madeline Hall, situated just outside Southampton, reveals the lives of its inhabitants. The mansion, surrounded by a timbered park and 12,000 acres of land, has been home to the de Versely family for centuries. At the time of writing, Miss Delmar and her brother's son, Captain Delmar, reside here. Miss Delmar, an elderly spinster of rank, is the sister of the late Lord de Versely and aunt to the present earl. She owns the property, which she will inherit upon her death. The Honourable Captain Delmar, a second son of the deceased nobleman, also resides at Madeline Hall. This history provides insight into the lives of those who call this grand estate home.
