Before inheriting Longleat from his father, they created many fond memories here. In the hall, there is a groove where a monkey cage once stood. Lady Daphne would often take her beloved common woolly monkey, Johnny, for strolls in the enchanting Longleat woods. Johnny was quite the character—he loved to chase the family's parrot and their Pekingese dog up and down the stairs! Their son, Alexander, the last Lord Bath and father of the current Lord Bath, had his own unique mode of transport. He would be pulled around in a charming buggy towed by a Saint Bernard dog, a delightful sight that you can still see today in Longleat House (the cart, not the dog, of course!).
