Levens Hall is situated on the edge of the English Lake District and dates from 1350. It was built by the De Redman family. The house was expanded in 1694 by Colonel James Grahme, former Privy Purse to James II. Rooms feature the family collections of paintings and memorabilia, including the earliest known example of English patchwork. Among the various items on display are Beau Brummel's snuff box, paintings by Van Dyck, Brueghel the Elder, and Rubens, and items associated with the Duke of Wellington and Admiral Nelson.
