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...
ROUND-BREAKING AI BRINGS HISTORY TO LIFE - NEW EXHIBITION UNVEILS THE UNTOLD STORY OF A GILDED AGE AMERICAN HEIRESS.
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Dating from 1888 to 1951, these letters constitute the largest unpublished private collection of correspondence from the period.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 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.

Julie just imagine having to check all those curtains at night!! 😱🤣🤣
Castle Howard will always scream Brideshead to me. Still love it ❤
Out of all of the castles that Julie has shown us through the years, I’d have to say that Castle Howard is my favorite for the majesty of the architecture. The views in every direction are outstanding! No wonder it’s a favorite for movies ❤️
If you consider Castles of Scotland you please consider visiting Kinnaird. Your ability to bring British histor? alive is a blessing. 💪🙏💓🐢🐝
Seeing more historic houses in Scotland on this channel would be lovely.
Howard Castle is Amazing. My mother and I visited several years ago. My maternal grandfather was Charles Kevin Howard, of direct descent from the Norfolk Howards (Arundel). The Howard family originally arrived in the States in VA before 1634 (John Howard) and were Maryland Catholics by 1635 (Matthew Howard). Of course, here in the "colonies" there many of us now.
Well hey cousin, lol. I'm also a direct descendent of the Norfolk line of the Howards via my great grandmother, Gena Howard.
Thank you! Thank you! This one took us into places I never even dreamed I'd get to see!!! And, in tribute to your work, I have become a member of Historic Houses.
Beautiful Castle Howard! Julie, you look stunning in that gold blouse. It's definitely your color.
Absolutely!
This is my husband’s distant ancestral home. Just gorgeous. Thank you for the wonderful tour.
What a mighty job putting this video together thank you Julie.
I have always loved Gilded Age architecture in the US. I just discovered your site. It’s great to see the inspiration from where they came. Thank you for what you are doing. I am a firm believer in saving history for all. I truly enjoy your videos and that they are a good length. Keep up the good work.
I thoroughly enjoy watching your videos! As an American who lived in England from 1982-1985, I loved it like you do! Thank you for speaking your American English accent, rather than trying to sound British, never goes over too well with the Brits 😆
I really love the exposed stone in the “not yet restored” room. I’d leave it exactly as is and claim it as my own sanctuary. Although it’s in the public main, so perhaps leaving it as a permanent tribute to the fire and an educational space to the public of what it takes to rebound after such an event.
Julie, if you get a 360° camera 📷 you can do your UA-cam videos, and when you upload, users can scroll and see everything around.
That is a great idea.
I visited castle Howard several years ago. It was simply stunning 💖 edited to add, the original brides head revisited was filmed at castle Howard. The arboretum is stunning aswell, especially in autumn.
Elegant beauty and absolutely stunning and exquisite
This is fantastic, good for you
We attended the proms there a few years ago. Such a beautiful estate. Yorkshire is where my grandparents came from.
Saw you on TV the other night (channel 5) Great to see 👍 ... 🇬🇧
Been here about 3 times. Once we went in a snow storm. We were the only visitors so apart from the staff we had the castle to ourselves.
I had that experience at Harlaxton, in Grantham. We were the only people in the whole building except for the security guard. I walked around at night, wine in hand, looking for ghosts. Great fun!
Must have been breathtaking in the snow ❄️
That blue in that bedroom is bomb,with the red fabric....
Those “dead spaces” on the lower level, if cleared out and cleaned up in just the most basic mold remediation fashion & bathroom installed, could be marketed as off grid/device-free weekend retreat rooms to let. “Roughing It Retreat in a castle.” $100/night, access to the grounds.
Fascinating! Thank you for sharing.
Would have like to see the interior of the Temple!
As I said on another video it’s hard to wrap your mind around living in a house like that when you grew up in a small 3 bedroom ranch lol. I can see sitting in the living room and saying “I’m off to bed!” 45 minutes of walking you finally reach your bedroom. You would have to pack a lunch just to walk from one side to another and I know new visitors get lost at least once! I wonder if any ghosts are around? 👻 I just LOVE these long videos! They are very relaxing to watch.
Stunning place. Hello from Connecticut!
So amazing!!!
30:00 new wish unlocked: stay at the aqua room at Castle Howard. Breathtakingly beautiful.
Amazing. So interesting. ❤❤
Is this a re-upload? Where's the second part of Blenheim Palace?
If the public is allowed to wander around the property, what’s to stop them from vandalizing these precious buildings?
Afternoon!
Really, regarding historic homes, in general: is insurance available, at any level for these properties? Is it cost prohibitive?
❤❤Poppy
It always throws me off seeing cars drive down the road on the left. As in the introduction of this video. I wonder why the difference between some countries as to which side they drive on.
I love seeing elderly gentry wearing fashionable clothes and looking quite trendy - u normally see them in dowdy tweeds and corduroy
Is this the same Howard Family (Duke of Norfolk) from Henry VIII’s time and his 2nd wife Anne Boleyn and 4th wife Catherine Howard?
Yes! Never connected the name. You’re good.
@@samanthab1923 I looked it up and yes, it’s the same family. Surprised it wasn’t mentioned. They lost the Duke of Norfolk title for obvious reasons, but gained it back. They were very significant in the history of England.
Do you realize this fire was 80 years ago?
Seriously, why do reruns come up as new videos. Can’t you label them, replay?
English have the best interior design and style very traditional and very old world
Petty of me but it would be nice if you didn’t do those silly poses in the thumbnail. It’s not needed and in my opinion, looks sensationalist and cheap.
a for effort
