Frogmore.

"Much of interest is to be found at Frogmore, chiefly, to-day, the magnificent Mausoleum which was built by Queen Victoria as the last resting-place of Prince Albert, the beloved Consort by whose remains now repose also those of the good Queen. But Frogmore itself is of much historic interest. It has been the home of several of Queen Victoria's children for a time after their marriage and was a favourite retreat not only of the Queen herself but also of Queen Charlotte in the preceding century. It was a very old appanage of the Crown, and is mentioned by Shakespeare in " The Merry Wives of Windsor." Its retired situation, and the peaceful beauty of its environment, appealed strongly to Queen Victoria during the long years of her widowhood." Extract from "Windsor the castle of our kings" (Open Library)
