After the latter's abdication. In 1848, he left France, and the members of his family found homes In different parts of the country. Duo d'Aumale bought Wood Norton, then only a shooting box, from the late Ed ward Holland, member of parliament and lived there the life of an ordinary English country squire, gradually Increasing the estate, which at first bad consisted of only a few hundred acres, to Its present size.
