| Description: |
The story the family who lived at Chastelton House in Oxfordshire from 1896 to 1933 |
| Synopsis: |
What happens when one remarkable house meets one extraordinary family during some of the most eventful years in history? Chastleton House, the rare and impressive Jacobean country house, has witnessed four hundred years of history. Some of the richest and most interesting were perhaps during the early 20th century, when the Richardsons regarded Chastleton as their home. With their predecessors having made their name and fortune in the silver trade, the Richardsons moved in at the end of the Victorian age and spent the opulent Edwardian era enjoying and improving their surroundings. Even throughout the horrors of the First World War and into the uncertain 1920s, the Richardsons demonstrated a love for Chastleton above and beyond normal tenants. The legacy of their passion for the place is evident in the buildings and gardens now admired by visitors and maintained by the National Trust. This book charts the life and times of the Richardsons during their time living at Chastleton. With the help of Chastleton Research Group and other knowledgeable individuals, the author has pieced together this fascinating period of British history as lived by one family - and one very special house. |
