This was the home of Sir Percy Florence Shelley (born in Florence in 1819) from 1849 until his death in 1889. The only son of the poet Percy Bysshe Shelley and his second wife Mary to survive into adulthood, he lived here with his wife Jane. Unlike his father and mother, he was not particularly literary, but had a passionate interest in amateur dramatics, building two private theatres, the one he built at Boscombe Manor having recently been restored. This complex of buildings which have evolved over the years is now a medical centre and private apartments. Image
