The entrance to the royal box in the parish church at Stourhead. A living presumably very much in the gift of the royals in question, the Hoares (the people who provide discrete baking services for the very rich). The sides of the box were high enough so that the proles in the body of the church could not see what the toffs were up to. Or not up to, being asleep in front of their fire.
Rather splendid, but a little dowdy & country compared with that at Esher. See reference 1 for the occasion, although there is no relevant illustration there.
