Blenheim Palace shines in the Oxfordshire landscape - and the collections within are truly breathtaking. Not least the glorious portraits of Consuelo Vanderbilt, who married the 9th Duke of Marlborough in 1895. Julie Montagu, Viscountess Hinchingbrooke is keen to find out more about the American women who married into the Spencer-Churchill family - all playing their part in the history of Blenheim.
The American heiress, Jennie Jerome had married Lord Randolph Churchill in 1874 - with their first son, Winston born at Blenheim. Julie visits the room where Winston was born and sees the sphinx sculptures of Gladys, the second American 9th Duchess of Marlborough in the stunning water terraces.

The Gilded Age American Heiress Exhibition opened to the public here at Mapperton on the 5th May. However, if you can’t make it in person you can buy a ticket (3 cups of coffee) for a virtual hour long tour with me, and support this ongoing project over at www.buymeacoffee.com/juliejmontagu
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Dating from 1888 to 1951, these letters constitute the largest unpublished private collection of correspondence from the period.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.

    Enjoying this brilliant episode while my husband watches hockey, that I could care less about! Thank you Julie for an extraordinary episode! ❤ Julie, thank you for talking about mental health! I think more people need to! My husband and his parents just don't understand depression and anxiety. They think you can just 'snap' out of a sad mood! They think it's wrong to take medication for such things! I think it's wonderful! If a person needs help, then, get it! There's no shame in talking about things you're going through; your depression; stress, etc. I mean, if you break a leg; need surgery; have an illness, etc., you don't think twice about asking for help. Why is getting mental help any different! Talk to someone; journal; talk to a Pastor; you're not alone! We're also a 'family' on here! Much love and many hugs to whoever reads this! You ARE loved and wanted! ❤

    I love Abbruzzo. Castelli is a treasure trove. I would have opted for a dinner service for 12 instead of for 8, simply because as there is a small reserve in case of breakage over the years. And also because those dishes are not so easily replaceable. Enjoy and Bon Appetito!
