My grandfather, Jack Spencer, took over running @AlthorpHouse exactly 100 years ago, in 1922. This wonderful charcoal portrait by Sargent is in the Library @althorphouse and depicts my grandfather in 1919. He’d survived the First World War - despite being shot and left for dead in No Man’s Land - and then married my grandmother soon after this portrait was completed. #spencerfamily #althorp #onthisday #fathersday #Althorphouse #Spencerfamily #7thearlspencer #historichouse #historyinpictures #livinghistory
