The owners of local estates greatly influenced Lymington and the surrounding villages. Many locals worked at the estates as gardeners, woodmen, estate workers, farm workers or domestic servants, living either in the big house or in housing tied to the estate.
The following pages give information about the history, the people and the use of country estates while the interactive map below shows the estates and houses around Lymington. All images in the exhibition are also expandable by clicking on them.
