We were rewarded with such lovely sights! <br />I couldn't find anything about the Kennedy half dollar chair. I did read somewhere that JFK's sister Kathleen, was married to the heir apparent of the Duke of Devonshire. He died in WWII and she died in a plane crash. Such a sad story , but maybe the chair is a nod to that. I'm not sure. ♥The Joy of Home with Martha Ellenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02912198511168813613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7664100447631245881.post-33397181216685602532015-07-20T11:35:35.980-04:002015-07-20T11:35:35.980-04:00Oh my goodness.

I believe the Temple of Apollo is where Lizzie and Mr Darcy were. That is at Stourhead---and no we were not able to squeeze that into our plans... There are so many places that I would love to go back and see. England has captured my heart for sure and I hope one day to return! ♥The Joy of Home with Martha Ellenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02912198511168813613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7664100447631245881.post-51885376517094085462015-07-19T15:22:37.486-04:002015-07-19T15:22:37.486-04:00How could you bear to leave??!!

It's so nice that the Stables are used in such nice ways today. The pretty drive to Gawthrope and the gardens were definitely worth the trip. You will have to put Gawthrope Hall at the top of your list for your next visit!! Heartfelt thanks to you and Grayden for sharing your adventure with us, Martha Ellen!

I will have to read more about Tatton Park to learn more about it. Even in America, in the colonist days, huge land ownership was the key to wealth---and I guess still is. George Washington and Thomas Jefferson and others owned huge expanses of land. I can't imagine owning land that would take forty five minutes to cross.

Certainly, it is a stately home that is every inch worthy of the adjective 'stately' {although in the case of 'stately home' it may be a noun ~ confused!} We can only begin to grasp the size of the lands owned by these people, for it is not only the immediate, often enormous, estate, but the land owned by the gentry too, the 'greater' estate, if you will. I recall visiting Tatton Park and learning that the estate covered land reaching far beyond the extensive grounds, in fact the forty five minute drive was across land once owned by the Egerton family. <br />Wonderful pictures and information, as always, I've enjoyed my visit ~~~ Deb Rustic Pumpkinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07335714529878600216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7664100447631245881.post-48333952388219336222015-07-18T18:56:44.498-04:002015-07-18T18:56:44.498-04:00You are right about Jane Austen, Vee.

I'm not finding any reference to the show. Chatsworth certainly has the same opulence and grandeur of Highclere. ♥The Joy of Home with Martha Ellenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02912198511168813613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7664100447631245881.post-27071262217530510762015-07-18T18:48:41.824-04:002015-07-18T18:48:41.824-04:00Thank you, Joan.
