Behind The Scenes Of The Stately Homes Of England

We are pleased to present the second in a two-part series that delves into the tales and traditions of the English aristocracy in the 20th century.
The English class system really exists nowhere else in the world, mainly because England has never had the kind of violent social revolution that has taken away the ownership of the land from the families that have ruled it since medieval times. Vast areas of the country are still owned by families that can trace their heritage back to the Norman knights who accompanied William the Conqueror. Here is our invitation to discover how this system has come about and to experience the fabulous legacy that it has bequeathed to the nation.
We have included a fascinating array of visits, to houses both great and small, private and public, spanning the centuries from the Norman invasion to the Victorian era. This spring, join Discover Europe, and like-minded friends, for a look behind the scenes of Treasure Houses of Southern England.
