"The Falconry was built for one week’s entertainment, in 1613. Guests watched falconry displays from its many windows - which were then unglazed. Amazing that it’s still such a presence in the park at @althorphouse more than four centuries on," Earl Spencer captioned a photo of the building shrouded in mist across the park.
The snap met a positive response from Charles' followers, including one who commented: "Amazing indeed! Beautiful building." Others agreed: "Beautiful."

The Earl enjoys sharing photos and details of the estate's rich family history with his followers, and in April he even shared a private glimpse inside the family tomb, where a stone figure with its hands together in prayer gesture was lying in rest.
"The tomb of my ancestor Sir John Spencer - who died precisely 500 years ago today, on 14 April 1522," he wrote. "He bought the farmland around Althorp, and then built @althorphouse in 1508. Businessman, sheep farmer, sheriff, and politician, he was knighted by Henry VIII in 1519."
