The Open House programme is presented by the Barbados National Trust.
Hopefield Manor, Christ Church is this week's Open House.
This fine, classically designed Barbadian house is home to Sir David Seale and Lady Seale of R.L. Seale and Co., Ltd., who also own the nearby Foursquare Rum Distillery and its lovely Heritage Park. Expanded in modern times, the house is strikingly decorated and filled with antiques and local artwork. Prepare to stroll; the grounds are expansive and beautiful. Even the stables are impressive. So are their occupants; the Hopefield horses have won seven Gold Cups!
