Continuing our exploration of the mid-century's most famous sisters sextet, we turn our attention to Unity, Jessica, and Deborah Mitford. If you thought the politics of the first three were fascinating, just wait: Unity adopted Nazism and befriended Adolph Hitler, Jessica was an avid communist, and Deborah married a Cavendish and became the celebrated renovator and promoter of Chatsworth House, the seat of the Duke of Devonshire.

This is Clare's 25th year of walking and talking on Ramblings! To mark this, ahem, milestone her first hike of 2025 is with a group of students from the University of Nottingham who are all members of the RamSoc (The Rambling and Hiking Society) which has just celebrated its 90th anniversary. All of today's walkers are under the age of 25, so weren't even around when Clare first stepped out with the Ramblings microphone. It's joyful to know that walking in the great outdoors continues as a rich part of our culture with young people like Theo, Amy, and others leading the way...They met in Bakewell, Derbyshire on a rainy, windy, wintery Sunday morning and set off on a circular hike taking in the grounds of Chatsworth House.Producer: Karen Gregor Presenter: Clare Balding

Dana Albany has come a long way since her first art project in the Black Rock Desert, a scrap-wood camel that got her started making things out of found materials, from discarded metal and broken glass to sun-bleached cattle bones and deer antlers. She has built flammable targets for the notorious machine-art group Survival Research Labs, worked as the artist-in-residence at a San Francisco dump, and had her large scale metal and mixed-media sculptures exhibited around the world, most recently at the “Radical Horizons” show at England's Chatsworth House. She talks with Stuart about her path to becoming an artist, which began with a spur-of-the-moment trip to Burning Man in 1996, about her mentors and mentees along the way, and about the joys of working with children to create high-impact interactive art.DanaAlbanyArt.comchatsworth.org/news-media/news-blogs-press-releases/burning-man-about-the-sculpturesburningman.org/programs/civic-initiatives/youth-education-spaceship

Glenn's a brilliant curator and writer with a particular interest in craft. If that conjures up an image of lace doilies and crocheted waistcoats, then don't panic!Back in 2011, he put together the amazing 'Postmodernism' exhibition at the V&A in London, which was a riot of Memphis pattern and colour; and more recently, he's co-curated a show called 'Mirror Mirror' at Chatsworth House in Derbyshire. Glenn writes beautifully – and his book Fewer, Better Things was a really big influence on my own book, A Modern Way to Live. A phrase he uses a lot is 'material intelligence', which is the idea that we should try to understand the things we choose to live with – where they've come from and how they've been made. I don't know if it's material intelligence or old-fashioned fate that led Glenn to find his home in Upstate New York, but it really is the physical manifestation of everything he believes in. We also chatted about his place in east London, what it's like to be an identical twin, his thoughts on the metaverse and all sorts of other things. Glenn is one of the most erudite people I know and his thoughtfulness is something we could all learn from.This episode was recorded in person at Glenn's east London home.For more: Head over to The Modern House website for images of the places discussed Watch the B-52's 'Love Shack' music video Check out the house built by a librarian's collection of bricksRead more by Glenn AdamsonSign up to The Modern House newsletter for weekly interiors inspiration Executive Producer: Kate Taylor of Feast CollectiveProduction: Hannah Phillips Music: FatherGraphic Design: Tom Young Hosted on Acast.

Ndidi Ekubia creates extraordinary, almost liquid-looking, vessels from silver. She graduated from the University of Wolverhampton in 1995, before going on to the Royal College of Art. Since then, her work has been shown internationally at exhibitions such as TEFAF in Maastricht, Masterpiece in London, and Pavilion of Art & Design in New York.Her pieces are held in Winchester Cathedral, Aberdeen Art Gallery & Museum and The Asmolean Museum in Oxford. Currently, she has a series of vessels in Mirror Mirror, a new exhibition at Chatsworth House that also contains furniture, lighting, ceramics, and sculpture from designers such as Fernando Laposse, Samuel Ross, Faye Toogood, and Ettore Sottsass. Ndidi was awarded an MBE in 2017 for services to silversmithing. In this episode we talk about: why she loves silver; the rhythm that lies behind her process; listening to the metal and trying not to ‘torture' her material; silver's memory; the importance of function; the African influence in her pieces; wanting to leave Manchester as a child but returning as an adult; her early love of Lowry; discovering metal as a student; having her work reassessed in the wake of Black Lives Matter; and her relationship with her gallery, Adrian Sassoon.We are delighted that the headline sponsor for this series of the podcast – and the Material Matters fair – is the brilliant lighting specialist, Bert Frank.

Patricia was born at Willersley Castle, close to Chatsworth House, in Derbyshire, on a cold November evening – hence her star sign of “Scorpio”. Being born with the gift of “Vision” she always had “spirit children” to play with, and very rarely chose human youngsters as friends. By the time she was eleven, she had experienced many meetings with her “guides”. “ISHEA”, a North American Indian, is her main guide plus an Irish jockey by the name of “Patrick”. Patricia sees everything she predicts in “visionary form” given to her by a higher force, and although she works in a type of trance this is not at all noticeable to clients. All souls are treated with the same kind of love and understanding only a spiritually aware person can give. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe To Our YouTube Channel Click Here: http://bit.ly/3kiuOPi Never Miss A Video!

If there was one thing you think society should talk more about, what would it be?“Something that I am passionate about because we get it so wrong is; How we value and remunerate our work?”_________If you've been lucky enough to travel to Uluru and see the breathtaking light installation at the base of the monolith you'll be excited to meet my guest today! The ‘Field of Light' as that art installation is known, was a project that initially was only going to showcase for a few short months but has become so popular that it's been extended time & again. It truly is a breathtaking sight. The Field of Light is the brainchild and magical work of British artist Bruce Munro who is very well-known for producing large immersive light-based installations in many locations around the world. These dynamic exhibitions are made up of thousands of components and incredible logistic feats in their own right - let alone being so beautiful and bringing so much joy to all those that see them. Bruce is an artistic diarist, who has spent over 30 years collecting and recording ideas and images in his sketchbooks, which he returns to over time as source material. Language, literature, science, and music have also greatly influenced his work. Frequently, Bruce's subject matter is his own experience of fleeting moments of rapport with the world and existence in its largest sense of being part of life's essential pattern. His reoccurring motif is the use of light on an environmental scale in order to create an emotional response for the viewer. Bruce completed a B.A. in Fine Arts at Bristol in 1982. Shortly after he moved to Sydney where he worked in design and lighting, inspired by Australia's natural light and landscape. Returning to England in 1992 he settled in Wiltshire, but his love for Australia was never lost and it was fitting when he finally got to realise his dream to light up the Central desert in such a magical way. Bruce's work has been shown at Museums and Botanical Gardens internationally, notably, Longwood Gardens, Pennsylvania, The Victoria & Albert Museum, London; Waddesdon Manor for the Rothschild Collection, Buckinghamshire; Beyond Limits 2016 for Sothebys at Chatsworth House; Messums, Wiltshire and the Heide Museum of Modern Art in Melbourne. His work Field of Light continues to be exhibited at Uluru, NT, Australia, Sensorio, California, USA and at the LBJ Wildflower Centre in Austin, TX, USA. Bruce's work is held in private and public museum collections internationally including Cheekwood Garden and Art Museum, TN, the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford and Texas Tech University TX.Whilst he's a global superstar in this world as his work has been featured at Museums and Botanical Gardens internationally, it was Bruce's down to earth manner and sheer love of creativity and the process that I remembered fondly the first time I met him all those years ago. I'm so happy to be sitting down with him once again. I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did - Bruce is such a wonderful being and brings such joy to the world.For more information about Bruce, check out these places;-Website: www.brucemunro.co.uk Instagram: @brucemunrostudioFacebook: @brucemunrostudioHead to michellejcox.com for more information about the ONE QUESTION podcast, your host or today's guestsConnect with Michelle on Linkedin here:- @MichelleJCoxConnect with Michelle on Instagram here:- @michellejcoxConnect with Michelle on Facebook here - @michellejcoxAND, if you have a burning topic you'd love people to talk more about, or know someone who'd be great to come on the One Question podcast, please get in touch;- hello@michellejcox.com

David Blunkett takes Clare Balding for a walk across Beeley Edge in the Peak District. Joining them are his wife, Margaret, and his guide dog, Barley. Despite being blind from birth, Lord Blunkett has always been a keen rambler and is President of his local Ramblers group. En route they encounter half a dozen cattle, which have to be navigated carefully as David once had three ribs broken by a cow which, he recalls, came towards him with a 'primeval bellow' and knocked him over. They also pass the lakes that supply the extraordinary gardens at Chatsworth House, including the Emperor Fountain built to impress a visiting Russian Czar... who didn't turn up.

The Woodwose and The Wildman have been reported here in the UK since the very first century, and we know new reports of strange hairy wild human type figures come in almost daily.  There are sparse newspaper reports even in modern times let alone 130 yrs ago. In 1865 there was a report made to the police by several villagers in the small villages within the Dales.The earliest magazine report of a ‘wild man’ surfaced in October of 1904 an article written by  Joe Adam where he republished the account from an earlier gentleman's magazine dated 1865. The article describes how many of the people who lived in one village in Derbyshire had to deal with a so called ‘wild man of the woods’ He was an extraordinary being as they put it who apparently wanted to live in a primitive way.1)-The Wildman Of The Derbyshire Peaks - “Travelling by train to Bakewell is a delight when emerging  from the station you come upon a small bridge which crosses the railway line and there are some extensive grassy slopes, these are the golf-links skirting the length of the railway and stretching for miles to Matlock. Alongside these links are many rocky outcrops which are inaccessible unless you stick to the path that runs through the wood. But when trying to walk off this path the undergrowth of Bracken is so thick that it is impossible to penetrate.  There are also several old stone quarries in the woods and where the ground is comparatively clear it is much broken up with boulders. On the outskirts of the wood is a reservoir which supplies the village with water.One Friday in spring, some certain young ladies were enjoying the delights of a round of golf on the Bakewell links. There have been hints overtime that the ladies were from Chatsworth House. Although this is mere speculation as the name of the estate was removed from the report. As the ladies were playing golf a wild hairy man like creature came from the woods and chased them down hill.  He was making loud grunting noises, this happened on two more occasions so the police and the men from the village set out to capture the creature. When they were searching a young boy ran into the station and explained he had seen the ‘wild man’ bathing in the local reservoir. The police and 60 men set off in pursuit and even though they saw the creature and his light moving within the woods and along the peaks they could not keep up with him, they did find his ‘hut’ with the remains of a cold fire within it.  Some of the young men said he moved over the obstacles and up the peaks with ease and far outpaced them.  He was also seen by many other villagers around the area.If you would like to join our Worldwide community please contact us using debbiehatswell@gmail.com.

Welcome to the Inside Yorkshire Podcast, a podcast full of stories and tales from the people of Yorkshire. Key Takeaways: So many of our great buildings have been lost, yet still many survive. Ed seeks the standing and the fallen and in turn aims to create images which look at the very fabric of our identity. "I am fascinated by the past. Our architectural heritage is a huge source of inspiration for me. The great edifices of the realm, past and present, have always conveyed a sense of power, which fails to dwindle with the passing centuries. Even the overgrown foundations of a long demolished country house hold a melancholic power, as does the shattered body of a great abbey" Valuable Resources: Ed Kluz:The Lost House Revisited  www.amazon.co.uk/Ed-Kluz-Lost-House-Revisited/dp/185894662X Place Makers exhibition is at the Scottish Gallery in Edinburgh which runs from the 3rd to the 27th of October.

With John Wilson Terry Gilliam discusses his new film The Zero Theorem set in a dystopian future where a computer hacker tries to find the meaning of life, and reflects on the Monty Python reunion. Artist Michael Craig-Martin joins John at the grounds of Chatsworth House to discuss his latest exhibition. From contemporary sculpture based on a series of line drawings by the artist and made from vibrantly coloured steel, to a curated series of head portraits from the estate's collection of old master drawings. Siri Hustvedt's best-selling novels include What I Loved and The Summer Without Men. Her new book is The Blazing World, a feminist fable about an artist who assumes the identity of various young men in order to prove that her work is taken more seriously. Siri reflects on the recurring themes of creative process and gender dynamics within her work. Produced by Ella-mai Robey.

A talk by Edmund de Waal on his installation 'A Local History' for the Alison Richard Building. A Local History A local history is an installation of three vitrines filled with porcelain, sunk below the paving outside the Alison Richard Building on the Sidgwick Site of Cambridge University. These vitrines are meant to be discovered, to be happened upon as you come and go across the site. They are there to make you pause momentarily. They are not sculpture as a Grand Statement. If you find them and look down through the gridded glass you will see piles of porcelain dishes, cylinders arranged in rows, and aluminium boxes filled with shards. The dishes are taken from moulds that I made from a Chinese Ming Dynasty dish, a plate from the French Sèvres porcelain factory, and a Staffordshire serving dish. These three dishes are iconic in form: they exemplify porcelain from three of the greatest places where it has been manufactured over the last thousand years. You will see that these pieces are glazed in whites, creams and celadons, and that there are also glimpses of gilding. Gold was used to highlight the value of porcelain, a material so prized that it was often called white gold. It was also used in Chinese and Japanese art when a vessel had been broken: to mend the porcelain with a seam of golden lacquer emphasized that it had been used and appreciated. I hope the flashes of gold, the fragments of broken vessels and the memories of ancient dishes act as a kind of palimpsest: a writing, erasing, and rewriting using objects. If you look up inside the atrium of the building you will see another vitrine, this time full of shelves holding celadon vessels. This vitrine, atlas, is my record of lost pots. It holds 120 lids from lidded jars that I have made over the last twenty years and broken because they were not quite right, because the glaze ran, because of a crack along a rim. If the structure of the vitrine looks familiar, it is because it is a gentle echo of a manuscript page with texts, footnotes and commentaries in intimate conjunction. All these vitrines are a kind of archive. They record my thinking about the history of porcelain, my travels, my love of fragments, my obsession with shadows, my reading. They are for this particular place – a threshold into a building, and a threshold into a site full of libraries and archives, and the people who care about libraries and archives. About Edmund de Waal Edmund de Waal is one of the world’s leading artists working in ceramics today. He is best known for his large-scale installations of porcelain vessels, with interventions at Waddesdon Manor, the Victoria & Albert Museum, Tate Britain and MIMA. Much of his recent work has been concerned with ideas of collecting and collections: how objects are kept together, lost, stolen, or dispersed. Increasingly, Edmund’s work has come from a dialogue between minimalism, sound and space, seen in his two permanent installations: Signs & Wonders at the V&A and a sounding line at Chatsworth House. In September 2012, Edmund will take his work beyond the museum space in his first piece of public sculpture, a local history, to be installed at the new Alison Richard’s Building at the University of Cambridge. Other future projects include working with the Chinese porcelain collections at the Fitzwilliam Museum, for an exhibition opening in February 2013, and a collaborative project with the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam. Edmund is also widely known as a writer. In 2010, Chatto & Windus published his family memoir, The Hare with Amber Eyes, which has become an international bestseller. It has won many literary prizes, including the Costa Biography Award, the Galaxy New Writer of the Year Book Award and the Royal Society of Literature Ondaatje Prize. By 2013, it will be published in over twenty-three languages. In 2011 Edmund was commissioned by Phaidon to write The Pot Book, a colour-illustrated anthology of 300 ceramic vessels. His other publications include a monograph on Bernard Leach (1997) and a survey of 20th Century Ceramics (2003). Edmund was appointed a Trustee of the V&A and awarded an OBE for his services to art in 2011. In June 2012, he was made a Senior Fellow at the Royal College of Art. Edmund was born in Nottingham in 1964. During his school years in Canterbury, he was apprenticed to the potter Geoffrey Whiting. After reading English at Cambridge, Edmund spent a further year studying at the Mejiro Ceramics Studio in Tokyo. He lives and works in London.
