Description
The picturesque house has been a family home since 1522 and is of great
historic and architectural interest. It was here that Sir John Oglander,
was host to Charles I on his last night of freedom and modern day
visitors can still see the Parlour Chamber in which they met. The house
is beautifully furnished, there are exhibits recalling the Aylmer
family's military connections, plus an Old Kitchen exhibition and
Nunwell is surrounded by 5 acres of tranquil gardens including a walled
garden also enjoying the views across the Solent.
