Exbury house

An imposing neo-Palladian house was designed for Lionel in the 1920s. It was built around an existing structure and faced with Portland stone. In 1942 it was requisitioned by the Admiralty and commissioned as a stone frigate, HMS Mastodon (later HMS King Alfred and HMS Hawke). Exbury House is still home to members of the Rothschild family today and so is not open to visitors.
