Treasure Houses of England
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Treasure Houses of England is a heritage consortium founded in the early 1970s by ten of the foremost stately homes in England still in private ownership, with the aim of marketing and promoting themselves as tourist venues.
The ten houses in the group, together with their historic owners, are:
- Arundel Castle (Dukes of Norfolk) (who still own the property)
- Beaulieu (Dukes of Montagu) (now owned by Lord Montagu of Beaulieu)
- Blenheim Palace (Dukes of Marlborough)
- Castle Howard (Earls of Carlisle) (now owned by The Hon. Simon Howard)
- Chatsworth House (Dukes of Devonshire)
- Harewood House (Earls of Harewood)
- Leeds Castle
- Warwick Castle (Earls of Warwick) (now owned by The Tussauds Group)
- Woburn Abbey (Dukes of Bedford)
- Wilton House (Earls of Pembroke)
