On a midsummer afternoon, sunshine pours through the high, glazed roof of the winter garden at Sennowe Park in Norfolk. The air is hothouse heady with exotic plants trailing from pots; a fountain plays in the marble gazebo. All that is missing from this quintessentially Edwardian scene are the house-party guests – men in panama hats and stiff collars; the women, elegantly pearl-strung and satin-sash-waisted.
