Lot Essay

Mr. and Mrs. Robert Tritton bought Godmersham Park in 1936, and not only rescued the house, but filled it with one of the finest post-war collections of English and French furniture of their time. The property once belonged to Jane Austin's brother, Edward Austen Knight, and there are letters written by her describing Godmersham and its beautiful park.
