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.buymeacoff...
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.
Dating from 1888 to 1951, these letters constitute the largest unpublished private collection of correspondence from the period.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 will explore Alberta's formative years in America, her upbringing in Chicago and New York, and the significance of her inheritance. Visitors will unravel the captivating courtship between Alberta and George Montagu, the future 9th Earl of Sandwich, leading to their marriage in 1905 in London. The narrative will culminate with her relocation to Hinchingbrooke House, the original family seat, in 1916 as the new Countess, following the death of the 8th Earl of Sandwich.
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.
“With the aid of cutting-edge AI technology, we've resurrected Alberta's voice, allowing her to answer visitors’ burning questions about her remarkable journey,” says Julie Montagu, Viscountess Hinchingbrooke.

After living in all the Vanderbilt homes that were up to date and comfortable, she probably felt like she was slumming it at Blenheim until she updated it!

Funny enough, Back in those days it was actually Americans coming back to their motherland, because their ancestors originally came from England/ Europe in the first place. If they did the DNA Ancestry, so many would discover their ancestry is European or British anyway...lol... They would have to have American Indian DNA to be actually American, according to how they work out DNA ancestry.

Hello from Texas, Its interesting to see the name Consuelo in relation to British atistocracy. Its a name usually associated with Spanish culture meaning consolation. Thank you for featuring her. She was extraordinarily strong and smart.

John Singer Sargent retained his American citizenship which he got through his parents but he was born in Italy and mostly lived in various European countries. I mean, he visited the US, sure. But to claim him as an American is like claiming Benjamin Franklin for the English because his father and all his grandparents were English. Or Robert Morris, though he was actually born in England. I have zero stakes in this, being neither British nor American, and I get that your audience is chiefly American, but sometimes a cosmopolitan society painter was just that, cosmopolitan.

As our productions are of the highest quality we can't possibly produce a brand new Historic House episode every week - they are in fact, usually every other week. So to fill in the Saturdays, we show reruns or we longer compilations as the channel is growing so much, this is a wonderful opportunity for ppl to see the episode again or for the first time. Hope you understand as we continue to film 12 hour days at these houses, sometimes 2-3 days at one house, plus all the research and editing that goes into these. xx Julie

New historic house episode coming next week. Because these episodes are high quality productions we can’t possibly create a new castle episode every week. But I hope you saw Somerleyton? Which aired 2 weeks ago? And Inveraray castle is next week!

We posted a new historic house episode 2 weeks ago and there will be a brand new one next week! We can’t possibly create new castle episodes every week as our production value is so high and the time and effort that goes in to creating just one of these takes weeks. So do please continue to watch the repeats as that helps find the new historic house programmes! Xx Julie

Repeats serve the purpose of allowing those who missed things the first time, to see what they missed. No one says you have to watch them.
