assume a man of your means is interested in private schools, so school wise it near enough to co-ed felsted (probably 30 min commute) which is a fine school (im not an old boy, but 2 nephews recently started and i have played cricket with many felsted boys (thats not a euphemism!)), or if not private then alternatively the former newport grammar in saffron walden or the country leading colchester royal grammar (a very good school!), and colchester county high for girls.

My sister lives just down the road from that school and is getting married there next year. I wish we'd had sports grounds like it at my secondary school!

felsted?

Here you go everyone. This is the Daily Mail article on the proposed palace. It will be of same scale but modern materials (of course).
The more I read about this. The more I have come to the conclusion that wealth breeds contempt and disregard for those without. And contempt and disregard for what is right, honorable and decent. This bloke Trevor Adams of Pennyfarthing Homes is obviously a complete megalomaniac tw4t.
