Like 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. (Country Life )

Product Description
Belvoir Castle is one of the least known great houses in Britain. 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 and both one of the finest regency homes in England, and a treasure trove of great paintings and furniture.
In this book, the story of the house, its contents and its inhabitants is told for the first time by the Duchess of Rutland. Tracing the history of the 36 generations of the family who have lived there, she conducts the reader on a tour through the exquisitely decorated rooms and the fabulous collections of one of Britain's great families.

Beaver Castle
2 July 2010
Format:Hardcover
This is a wonderful book. I love when this type of book is written by someone who owns and lives in the home. Like the books written by the Duchess of Devonshire. It gives you a whole different perspective. There are some wonderful pictures of the main rooms of the Castle but also a few pictures of the private apartments, I just wish there had been even more of the private rooms.
