At its most potent, it became a symbol of Edwardian nationalism, of the enduring values of ‘Old’ English civilisation itself, and of the unquestioned legiti- macy of a benevolent gentry class whose values were rooted in the land.

We thank especially HRH The Prince of Wales for gracious permission to quote from A Vision of Britain; long-suffering parents, children, and staff; David Mlinaric (interiors); Jacob Pot and Andrew Townsend (conservation architecture); Rory Young and Ursula Falconer (lime repairs); John Sales, Penelope Hobhouse and Simon Verity (gardens); Stephen Davis and Duff Hart-Davis (fire brigades); and Joan Gould and Martin Fairfax-Cholmeley (loans).
