Diana, Princess of Wales & Althorp House

The Round Oval

Diana, Princess of Wales,
was buried on the 6th September, 1997
 on the island in the center of the lake (below).


Below is a closer look at the memorial
that stands along side the lake.

Below is Althorp House, built in 1508.
Home to the Spencer family for five centuries.


 We had a wonderful afternoon visiting Althorp House.  
Like many, we wanted to see the memorial dedicated to
Diana, Princess of Wales.  Before walking to the lake
we enjoyed a tour of the house and gardens.


Althorp House is about l hour from Coventry in Northamptonshire.

Looks a very interesting house to visit. By coincidence I visited Diana's memorial in Kensington Palace gardens yesterday.

So sad that she has a memorial at all Lauren, she was far too young to pass in that way, but it really is a beautiful spot. My brother in law has just come back from four weeks in England, he visited and really enjoyed Coventry. Wish I'd known he had intended to go, I could have given him some tips from you 😊

Wonderful photos! I don't think I've ever seen photos of the actual tomb. I would have enjoyed that tour, I'm sure.
I'm headed to London in a little over a week. I'm getting excited.
