The Galleries house a unique collection of painted views of Windsor, spanning a 350-year period.
Windsor was a place that enchanted the first Lord Fairhaven.
His father owned Park Close, a house on the edge of the 'Great Park'.
Later in life, when he became a soldier, his regiment, the 1st Life Guards, was stationed at Windsor.
