Chatsworth House remains one of my favorite stately homes, partly because it still feels like a home rather than a museum—and that, I think, is thanks to the indefatigable Dowager Duchess of Devonshire (who appears in a previous Friday Video).
Today’s clip comes from a series tracing Queen Victoria’s travels through England. This one deals with her visit to Chatsworth House when she was thirteen, and not yet the Queen of England. I particularly enjoyed the downstairs scenes.
And since it's the same time of year, I'm adding this little sonnet, I found in Hones' Every-day Book for 3 October.
