Tracing the history of the 36 generations of the family who have lived there, she conducts the reader on a tour through the exquisitely decorated rooms and the fabulous collections of one of Britain's great families.

  Rutland   -   Tourist Board Rutland
Rutland is a little piece of old England, hidden away at the heart of the country. It is a place where Kings once hunted deer in the valleys, where tiny villages were bequeathed to Mercian queens and where charming thatched cottages, ancient churches and fine Georgian architecture are all reminiscent of a bygone age.
Rutland lies to the east of Leicestershire and to the west of Lincolnshire and at its heart you will find Rutland Water – Europe's largest man-made lake.
