ReviewsLike its authoress, it is a stylish, informative, and charmingly candid companion to the splendours of her preposterous chivalric pile, but this is also a personal tour, which tells us something of what it's like to live in this vast house.

Rising like a fairy palace over the plains of the Vale of Belvoir in Leicestershire, and dating back originally to 1067, it is the home of the Duke of Rutland. Both one of the finest regency residences in England and a treasure trove of great paintings and furniture, the castle also houses an important collection of porcelain, silks and tapestries, sculptures and paintings.

Aided by hundreds of both color and black-and-white photographs, the Duchess traces the history of the 36 generations of the family who have lived there, and proves an expert guide through the castle's gorgeous rooms and collections., The story of the Belvoir Castle, its contents and its inhabitants is told for the first time by the Duchess of Rutland., Belvoir Castle is one of the least known great houses in Britain.
