A La Ronde in Exmouth, Devon by Chris J Dixon at PicturesofEngland.com
A La Ronde in Exmouth. This fascinating 16 sided house is a relic from 1796. It was built for two spinster cousins Jane and Mary Parminter and was to be their home following their Grand Tour of Europe. The house holds many treasures, most of which where collected by the cousins during their travels across the Continent. These are beautifully displayed, looking very much as they would have done in the 18th century.
