  • My Ancestors Who Lived in Leeds Castle (And Some of Them Even Owned It!)
    Chapter 75 My Ancestors Who Lived in Leeds Castle (and Some of Them Even Owned It!) [originally written 4 January 2021] On 20 December 2020, Russ Leisenheimer posted a photo of a sunset over Leeds Castle to his Facebook page.1 Russ was one of my high school classmates in Euclid, Ohio, and he still lives in the Cleveland area. Here is the photo: I have been using the “World Family Tree” on Geni.com to investigate my European ancestors who lived during the Middle Ages, and seeing the photo of Leeds Castle got me to wondering if any of my ancestors lived there. OK, I realized that this was going to be a long shot, but due to the coronavirus pandemic, I have lots of free time to look into such seemingly trifling things. I immediately went to Wikipedia.org to learn about Leeds Castle, and that prompted the following reply to Russ on Facebook: Wikipedia states that “Leeds Castle is a castle in Kent, England, 5 miles (8 km) southeast of Maidstone. A castle has existed on the site since 1119, the first being a simple stone stronghold constructed by Robert de Crevecoeur which served as a military post in the time of Norman intrusions into England. In the 13th century, it came into the hands of King Edward I, for whom it became a favourite residence; in the 16th century, Henry VIII used it as a dwelling for his first wife, Catherine of Aragon.” According to the World Family Tree on Geni.com, Robert de Crevecoeur was my 25th great uncle.

The project is ambitious for a number of reasons – but in terms of this Business Plan, most importantly because it will provide a complete step change in the level of commercial activity onsite. Turnover will increase onsite fourfold to around £1m p.a. as a direct result of the project , and expenditure will increase by around a third. This Business Plan provides a detailed assessment of the forecast operational performance of Marble Hill House and Park under the project.

  • Eltham Palace Wedding Brochure 2018
    Eltham Palace and Gardens was the dazzling home of a millionaire couple, whose lifestyle encapsulated the glamour of high society living on the eve of the Second World War. Virginia Courtauld was vivacious and chic. Her husband, Stephen, was her opposite, cautious and reserved. But they shared a vision of a life in luxury and, in 1933, Eltham was the place they chose to create it. The medieval Great Hall, boyhood home of King Henry VIII, was their starting point. They built a striking Art Deco house attached to the hall, packed with all the latest mod cons. Friends would visit and enjoy croquet and a drop of brandy in their afternoon tea, or twilight cocktails on the terrace. When the war broke out, life inevitably changed. But even as the couple retreated to their luxurious bomb shelter, the door always stood open for visitors. Your wedding day will lead you and your guests over Eltham’s ancient bridge into this remarkable world. Emulate 1930s sophistication with a ceremony in the curved Entrance Hall. Whether you enter through the double doors, or down the curved staircase, you can stand together under the glass domed roof to make your vows. From here, lead your guests out for drinks on the terrace, where spring time wisteria tumbles over the pergola. Or step into the drawing room to gather around the marble fireplace and grand piano. As the evening draws in, head into the medieval Great Hall where you can dine in splendour as royalty once did, then dance into the night as a backdrop of stars appears through the double height bay windows.
