NOTES: This Elizabethan manor house, based on a double courtyard, with a central red-brick tower, was built by Sir Richard Baker in 1560-1570. It was saved from dereliction when Vita Sackville-West and Nigel Nicolson bought Sissinghurst, which included 400 acres of farmland, in 1930.
NOTES: This print, a lithograph by James Henry Lynch, is taken from a daguerreotype by William Kilburn. Kilburn took several daguerreotype portraits of Paxton which were subsequently used as the basis for lithographic prints.
