One character claims that this locale was frequently visited by Aethelred the Unready, who got his nickname because he was always late for dinner. The rhododendrons surrounding this place are frequently remarked upon by the narrator, who also describes a dog named Jasper and the manager of this locale, the sympathetic character Frank Crawley. This estate is the setting for a drama-inducing costume ball after the protagonist appears (*) wearing a dress inspired by a portrait that hangs over its central staircase. This estate is ultimately burned down by Mrs. Danvers, who treats the narrator with contempt because she can't compare to the first Mrs. de Winter. That unnamed narrator opens the novel by relating "Last night I dreamt I went to [this place] again." For 10 points, identify this English estate, the setting of Daphne du Maurier's novel Rebecca.
