The Palace of Versailles-a parsonage on the Yorkshire moors - Venice-No 1 London-a Carmelite Convent in France, a 17th-century manor house in Sussex. These are the dramatic settings for the lives of six great personalities from Italy, France and England. 2: Rudyard Kipling at Bateman's
' England is the most marvellous of all foreign countries.' Rudyard Kipling was a world-famous writer when he saw Bateman's in Sussex -a manor house built in 1634. It was love at first sight, and the greatest writer about India settled down to live in the heart of the English countryside for the rest of his life. with the voices of
