'This is the house by Cromer town ...' Built in 1884 as the grand
summer home for the well-connected Locker-Lampson family, the red
-brick, turreted mansion Newhaven Court once sat high on a
windswept hill above Cromer. Before its dramatic destruction in
flames nearly eighty years later, the house played host to such
eminent figures as Sir Winston Churchill, Alfred Lord Tennyson, Sir
Ernest Shackleton, illustrator Kate Greenaway and French tennis
superstar Suzanne Lenglen. It was a home where poets rubbed
shoulders with politicians and aristocracy with artists and
authors. There was dance, dining and song - but also family tragedy
and hidden love. Follow the true story of Newhaven Court and its
colourful inhabitants from the decadent years of the late
nineteenth century and the elegant Edwardian era, through the
tragedy of the First World War and terrible conflict of the Second
to the roaring twenties and the uncertain post-war age.
