A Gilded Age Heiress's MANSION: Prehistoric Stones and Royal Seals
This time on American Viscountess, Julie Montagu, Viscountess Hinchingbrooke visits Stonor Park in South Oxfordshire. Visit foreo.se/vl04 for 30% off UFO 3 plus an additional 10% discount for the first 50 that use the coupon code AMERICAN10
This is the historic home of William and Ailsa Stonor, Lord and Lady Camoys - the 29th generation of the family to live in this stunning location. The history of Stonor is bound up with the religious turmoil of the English Reformation in the sixteenth century; but the story begins at the prehistoric stone circle which stands close to the house itself.
Julie is guided through the history of Stonor by William; hearing of Williams American heritage, the challenges faced by his parents in the 1970s when the family moved back into the house. And Julie is shown one of the most historic documents connected to Stonor - dating back to 1315, with the seal of King Edward II. With a walk around the glorious gardens with Ailsa, this is an historic house visit not to be missed.

ROUND-BREAKING AI BRINGS HISTORY TO LIFE - NEW EXHIBITION UNVEILS THE UNTOLD STORY OF A GILDED AGE AMERICAN HEIRESS.
A new exhibition offers a glimpse into the captivating world of Alberta Sturges Montagu, the 9th Countess of Sandwich, and an American Heiress from the renowned era known as The Gilded Age.
Curated by Mapperton’s very own American Viscountess, Julie Montagu, the "American Heiress" collection is comprised of more than 10,000 previously unseen letters exchanged between Alberta (Sturges) Montagu and her family, as well as the peerage at large.
Dating from 1888 to 1951, these letters constitute the largest unpublished private collection of correspondence from the period. They offer a remarkable glimpse into the life of a "dollar bride" during the Gilded Age, shedding light on both triumphs and struggles.
The exhibition takes innovation to the next level by introducing Alberta AI, a ground-breaking creation that brings her story to life like never before.

    This house is so gorgeous, I adore the original colors. I once had cart blanche to paint a dreadful old rental and wow, did I, just using old scraps of paint, all sorts of colors and it was fabulous, quite muted colors except for a very vibrant, pale green, which made it all sing and I did one, all grey ceiling, which was fabulous, people loved it. This is such a warm, lived in House, truly lovely. One thing I have noticed in most of these wonderful old homes, is a lack of potted plants, no greenery. The Victorians had their favorites, like ferns and aspidistras. Is there a particular reason not to have potted plants, mildew, watering damages, etc? Oh, there are lovely discreet potted plants and of course no house is complete without flowers, this is just so beautiful.
