visiTOUR.US is proud to announce a new virtual tour project: “Lea Hurst”, the family home of Florence Nightingale in Derbyshire, England, UK. This beautiful home will be recreated and preserved in the visiTOUR.US platform, featuring its many rooms, artifacts, collectibles, and not to mention the incredible story of the home throughout the Nightingale family ownership.
“Originally a 17th century farm house, Lea Hurst was developed into a country home on the orders of Florence Nightingale’s father, William Nightingale, in 1820-21.
It had 15 bedrooms – large by most people’s standards, but not by those of the wealthy gentry and aristocracy, with their large families, retinues of servants, and ostentatious socialising. By their standards, it was a modest, peaceful place, built from local grey stone, and not a statement of conspicuous wealth or social influence.”
More information about this project will appear on the visiTOUR.US website.
