專家說明

Colt Hoare, a member of the Hoare's banking dynasty, was the fourth owner of Stourhead, Wiltshire, inheriting from his grandfather Henry Hoare II (1705-1785) in 1785. After the death of his young wife, he made several continental tours, and became a dedicated antiquarian and archaeologist, undertaking the first excavations at Stonehenge in 1798.
