Parnham Park and Aynhoe Park before it are living museums of art and curiosities, filled with pieces both priceless and playful, all acquired by Aynhoe’s owners, James and Sophie Perkins, over the course of their travels.
A touch of wonderland pervades the otherworldly interiors, which have long been a well-kept secret of the sartorial set.
For more than 25 years, James has followed in the footsteps of the Grand Tourists of the 18th and 19th centuries, venturing to contemporary creative centres and antique lands to accumulate a collection of fine art and modern design, unrivalled in the UK.
