Hall of Names Europe is delighted to announce that its range of historic and heraldic gifts will be available to purchase at Longleat House in Wiltshire from the middle of March.

Longleat House is widely regarded as one of the best examples of high Elizabethan architecture in Britain and one of the most beautiful stately homes open to the public. Substantially completed by 1580 and now home to the 7th Marquess of Bath, Longleat House is set within 900 acres (400 hectares) of magnificent ‘Capability’ Brown landscaped parkland with a further 8000 acres (3,200 hectares) of woodland, lakes and farmland. In the late 13th Century a priory belonging to the Black Canons of the Order of St Augustine occupied the site where Longleat House now stands. It has a number of added attractions such as a Safari Park, Railway and Maze and was visited by Queen Elizabeth I in 1574 – the first in a long line of royal guests

Hall of Names provides Coats of Arms and Surname Histories as part of its exclusive and personalised product range designed to last a lifetime and will be sold in the recently opened Gifts and Treasures Shop in the grounds of the Longleat Estate. The European operation of Hall of Names which has been researching names and their histories since 1971 recently rebranded and relaunched its online shopping website at www.hallofnames.org.uk

Barbara Savage, Shop Manager at Longleat says, “After a successful trial with Hall of Names, we were thrilled with the results and are looking forward to a great partnership and successful first Summer of selling its products at Longleat.”

Representatives from Hall of Names Europe are touring the country throughout the Spring & Summer attending shows and fairs and recently exhibited at the ‘Who do you think you are’ Live 2009 at Olympia, London.
