Fascinating lecture. Thank you very much, and especially for the section on the superb West Wycombe Park, which I was not aware of and which looks well worth a visit.

That’s terrible that someone cut the eyes out of their hosts paintings. Agh!

I have visited Blenheim, Syon, Alnwick and Castle Howard. Blenheim has to be seen to be believed! It's truly incredible! All these homes are grand! Houses are not built like this anymore, unfortunately. I'd love to own a British Country house, but the expense is enormous, isn't it? That's why so many of these aristocratic families bestow their ancestral homes to the NT.

The picture of the Duchess of Marlborough & her sons was taken during the coronation of King George V 1911 not 1902.

If I remember Downing exchanged New Amsterdam for the island of Run, a far eastern spice producer. The Dutch traders were eager for a monopoly, which they got!

This was excellent and I'm sorry I missed it live, at the time. Is there any reason why your front page logo is Wanstead House, Essex, but you don't mention it in your talk?

Definitely not the best king. He had old world thinking of God put me here so yeah me I'm Devine thinking! But he was an important king. Without him there wouldn't have been Elizabeth 1!

It's not surprising about Old Ben Franklin . It's common knowledge that he was a womanizer and spent much time in Europe. Enjoying himself! He also set up the credit system. For the US. Through Holland.

I don't think ,Americans are the repositories of english blood along.? And certainly not the ones living in those houses. Irish, a lot, the rest of Europe provide your land , with enormous amount of ancestors. Bless to be born in Madrid, lived in London , married and had children there, still to this day spanish and now Irish as well. History is my pasion, and for very good you are the title is wrongly put. They didn't visit as EMIGRANTS.....

Country house owners were the 19th century parallel of what movie stars are today. Exact same societal dynamic. Successful movies you starred in OR the size of your country estate. Same impact on society.
