Inside a 1,000 Year Old CASTLE Built by THE KING
This remarkable castle, built on the instruction of William the Conqueror, has been in the same family for 450 years. With an extraordinary variety of castles, manors, and stately homes available, this truly is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity - don't let it slip away! Mention "Julie" when booking for £1,000 off any stay of 5 nights or longer. 🏰 storiedcollection.com
Prior to the Watson’s ownership the Castle was held by the crown. There are very few other homes that have been continuously occupied for nearly 1000 years and within that time been owned by just one family since being relinquished as a royal Castle.

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Dating from 1888 to 1951, these letters constitute the largest unpublished private collection of correspondence from the period.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.

    Oh Im so excited that you took my suggestion to have Shakespeare Summer Theatre in the garden for young actors and actresses! Yay! I hope it will be a raging success and also include young actors from your local high schools or nearby colleges! Give the kids a chance and experience! Don't forget the Annual Mapperton Fiddlers Contest and Country Dance Contest! No one can resist a foot-tapping fiddle and a good dance! Im sure it will be very popular! Mapperton's reputation for supporting English Arts will be firmly established.

    My story is not about a mistake I made but one my youngest cousin made when he was about five. We were all at my Grandparents house and there was 12 of us around the table. Henery asked somebody to pass a dish and after asking multiple times and nobody responded he stood up on his chair reached across the table and got it himself.
