As the sun set slowly on the British Empire in the years after the Second World War, the nation's stately homes were in crisis. Tottering under the weight of rising taxes and a growing sense that they had no place in twentieth-century Britain, hundreds of ancestral piles were dismantled and demolished. Yet - perhaps surprisingly - many of these great houses survived, as dukes and duchesses clung desperately to their ancestral seats and tenants' balls gave way to rock concerts, safari parks and day trippers. From the Rolling Stones rocking Longleat to Christine Keeler rocking Cliveden, Noble Ambitions: The Fall and Rise of the Post-War Country House (Basic Books, 2021) by Dr. Adrian Tinniswood takes us on a lively tour of these crumbling halls of power. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose new book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Robert Thompson MBE is one of the youngest chefs in the UK to receive a Michelin star and has helped put the Isle of Wight on the culinary map. At ten, he became interested in food, designing his own restaurant/club as part of a school project. He has worked at several top rated restaurants, from Winteringham Fields to Cliveden, before establishing Thompson's on the Isle of Wight. He was one of the first chefs to work with us at Great British Chefs and cooked a memorable lamb carpaccio at our press launch event and a smoked eel puff in Old Street (London) the day we launched the website. During lockdown, he re-invented his business with a chef-designed food box called You Be Chef, which he continues to run.  In his chat with Ollie Lloyd, he discusses the changing nature of food on the Isle and how people's expectations have changed due to various factors, such as Instagram, home cooking trends, supermarkets expanding ranges, and the cost of living crisis. Making things work in the hospitality sector is not easy, but Robert is committed to making it work. He is incentivising his team so that they are part owners of the business, is about to launch two new restaurants and remains dedicated to working with a growing list of local suppliers.  Edited by Jasper Schofield

Growing up around farms and wildlife, TV presenter Kate Humble has always had a fascination for nature. After leaving school, she travelled solo to Africa; working her way from Cape Town to Cairo. On her return to the UK she began working for TV production companies, as a runner, then researcher on ‘The Holiday Programme'. It was on her second day in the Holiday office when she was asked by the programme's editor if she had ever presented before. "No," she said "and nor do I want to." Kate has been presenting programmes for over 20 years ever since, as well as writing articles and books, many with a focus around travel. In fact, she has become a beloved mainstay of British television, having presented some of our most iconic shows, including Springwatch & Autumnwatch, Countryfile, Lambing Live, and many, many more. We spoke at The Chelsea Townhouse, a new opening by Iconic Luxury Hotels, the brand behind some of Britain's most legendary properties, like Chewton Glen and Cliveden. Tucked behind one of London's most fancy shopping districts, Sloane Street, we sat in one of its homely suites, overlooking it's lovely garden and towering treetops - an unusual find in the heart of London.Kate is what I would consider a true traveller. She is someone who sets off with pure wanderlust, with a map and hiking boots, and gets stuck in wherever she is heading. She tells us about an extraordinary five weeks spent with a tribe who live north of Timbuktu in the Sahara Desert trading salt; tracking clouded leopards in Borneo and hiking through Afghanistan. And closer to home about life in the Welsh Wye Valley, and her beloved escape in rural France.

And considers the views of others living uniquely, extraordinarily and happily. It's a fascinating and comforting read, which I thoroughly recommend - a great Christmas present.

When Vladimir Putin invaded Ukraine in February 2022, the world entered a new and dangerous phase. The fightback by the Ukrainians is now a pivotal struggle between right and wrong. Added to the recent terrorist attacks in southern Israel, now is an ideal time to hear from General David Petraeus and Lord Andrew Roberts about what the future of conflict looks like, and what the past can tell us.They are the joint authors of Conflict: A Military History of the Evolution of Warfare from 1945 to UkraineGeneral Petraeus & Lord Roberts LinksConflict: A Military History of the Evolution of Warfare from 1945 to UkraineChat at Cliveden between the twoOllie LinksOllie on X/TwitterEmail - history@aspectsofhistory.com

Nestled amongst 370 acres of gardens and grounds is the grandeur of the historic Cliveden House. Originally built in 1666 by the Duke of Buckingham, the last owner was William Waldorf Astor who rebuilt the estate to what it is today. The National Trust is the owner of Cliveden House which is now a breathtaking luxury five star hotel. Recently, I booked an overnight stay at Cliveden House through American Express Travel's Fine Hotels and Resorts.  The benefits included a free breakfast and free upgrade. I was traveling with my friend, May Wong from graduate school and her dog, George. The hotel graciously welcomes pets. (Please refer to the pet policy guidelines). Cliveden House is a culinary delight. The Lady Astor Afternoon Tea was indeed a delicious highlight. Overlooking the expansive gardens, tea is served in true English fashion. The signature drink 66 served in the wood-paneled Library Bar is an homage 1666, the year in which the Duke of Buckingham built Cliveden House. There are several Michelin starred restaurants in the area, and the concierge is happy to help arrange reservations. Charity begins in the kitchen. In the Cliveden House gift shop, a copy of the Chefs at Home cookbook is available for purchase, and a portion of proceeds benefit the wonderful non-profit Hospitality Action.

S4E42 This week Steve joins Chris Damant in the grounds of Cliveden House on the banks of the River Thames. As fine dining takes place in the hotel above them, Chris and his team have set up traps to catch bats as they arrive to mate in the middle of the night. Underneath the south terrace are a number of rooms which mimic underground structures and its these that the bats travel to from far and wide to undertake an annual phenomenon, autumn swarming. Cliveden hosts one of the most important bat sites in the country, with eight species swarming here between August and October.Read more about the work Chris has undertaken at ClivedenFollow Chris Damant on twitter and instagramTake a look at our ROOST website that Chris mentions in this episodeBook your place at the Scottish or South-West bat conferencesLeave us a voicemail!

"the shameless slut"

De geschiedenis van de mensheid is er een van families. Als je kijkt hoe menselijke gemeenschappen zich vormden en de wereld veroverden is de familie de vorm van verwantschappen die de historie is gaan bepalen en domineren. Vanuit die gedachte schreef de Britse historicus Simon Sebag Montefiore tijdens de lockdown zijn zojuist verschenen 1467 pagina's dikke boek De Wereld. Een Familiegeschiedenis. Jaap Jansen en PG Kroeger praten met hem over de rijke inhoud van dit boek en ook van zijn eerdere meesterwerken over Rusland.Sebag vertelt hoe hij tot zijn these kwam en hij het begrip 'familie' ging verrijken. Er zijn meer intense verwantschappen. Hij wijst op 'coterieën' zoals politieke en artistieke verbanden (denk aan Andrea Wulf en haar boek over de Jena-kring!). Ook kloosterordes en de kameraden rond Stalin en Mao vormen zulke families.Het boek laat zien dat rond en binnen families door de eeuwen essentiële factoren domineren. Seks, geweld, loyaliteit, continuïteit van macht en bezit, opvoeding en vorming, mobiliteit én honkvastheid staan steeds weer centraal. Sebag onderstreept dat hij met zijn insteek van hieruit ook de wezenlijke rollen van vrouwen in de geschiedenis veel meer reliëf kon geven.In het gesprek komen dan ook zeer bijzondere vrouwen naar voren. Zelfs Margaret Thatcher met wie de scholier Sebag een wel heel aparte confrontatie beleefde. En wat dacht je van Minette? Deze prinses was zó slim en charmant dat zij twee rivalen kon koppelen tegen de Republiek en de gebroeders De Witt, nu precies 350 jaar geleden. Het boek zit er vol mee, van de Piratenkoningin van Marokko met haar zesduizend kindslaven, de wrede heerseres van de Etrusken tot oppermachtige tsarina's als Catharina de Grote.In het gesprek komt de grote nadruk in Sebags boek op de wereld buiten de Europese cultuurkringen duidelijk aan de orde. Onze koloniale blik op de wereld - ook vandaag nog vaak vanuit ons 'ethisch imperialisme' - heeft vele unieke personen, ontwikkelingen en culturen voor ons verborgen gehouden. Dit boek onthult daarvan veel en leert nieuw kijken naar en denken over onze wereld en menselijke gemeenschap. Bijvoorbeeld over de belangrijke rol van de joodse bankier Josef Nasi die ons land bezocht en een cruciaal vizier werd van de grote Sultan Selim in het Istanboel van de zestiende eeuw.Simon Sebag Montefiore gaat diep in op historische en morele vragen zoals rond de slavernij en andere wreedheden. Deze hangen juist ook samen met familiebanden door de geschiedenis heen. Vaak waren onze voorouders zowel onderdrukkers als slachtoffers. Sebag pleit voor nuance én erkenning.Als groot kenner van Rusland spreekt hij met Jaap en PG natuurlijk ook over de actualiteit vanuit het verleden daar. De roof uit zijn kapel in Cherson van de doodskist van Grigori Potjomkin door Poetins leger blijkt een aangrijpend symbool van de huidige oorlog en de wortels ervan. "Catharina en hij zouden Poetin en zijn bewind verfoeien!" Overigens blijft hij ten diepste een optimist over de toekomst van Rusland en zeker die van Oekraïne.En we eindigen verrassend met het volgens Sebag ‘beste lied' over de wereldgeschiedenis: Sympathy for the Devil van de Rolling Stones!Luisteraars die via een donatie Vriend van de Show zijn - of dat heel snel nu nog worden! - kunnen meedingen naar een van de drie exemplaren van Sebags boek die Uitgeverij Spectrum beschikbaar stelt!

Autumn is the time for literary festivals, including the mighty 10-day Cheltenham Literature Festival, London's South Bank, the small but beautifully formed Cliveden and many more including Bridport, Petworth, Stratford, Henley, Harrogate, North Cornwall, Braemar and more. But this week we're going to war-torn Ukraine to feature the Lviv Book Forum, in collaboration with Hay Festival, which runs in a bomb shelter between 6th and 9th October. We talk to the courageous and undaunted Programme Director, Sofiya Chelyak, and to the human rights KC, Philippe Sands, celebrated author of East West Street, The Ratline and a new book The Last Colony. Philippe will be attending the extraordinary festival alongside Henry Marsh, Misha Glenny, Margaret Atwood, Yuval Noah Harari, Elif Shafak and Margaret MacMillan. It's actually the 29th edition of the Lviv Book Forum, Ukraine's biggest literary festival, but given the war it's had to be shrunk and with Hay's support, it's defiantly going ahead with just 40 writers. As its digital partner for the first time, Hay will broadcast the conversations free in English, Ukrainian, and Spanish. Sofiya describes the festival as running ‘in defiance of the evil that seeks to squash their freedom,' and so we applaud and admire its efforts to keep these vital conversations alive and deepen our understanding of this little-known, vast and complex country.

XXI. While the sumptuous dinner parties and grand country house weekends of years past may have vanished, the secrets of elegant entertaining and hospitality live on.  Nancy Lancaster and Nancy Astor, two American born women, entered upper class British society in the early 20th century and brought the traditions of great Southern American hospitality to some of England's greatest estates including the renowned Cliveden. In recent years, Emily Astor and Jane Churchill, descendants of Nancy Lancaster and Nancy Astor, have continued the tradition and share its elements with today's hosts and hostesses in Entertaining in Style (Rizzoli), their book of history, memories and recipes.Join the Gilded Gentleman and both Emily and Jane for a look back at the tables of the two Nancys and particularly Nancy Lancaster's vision, which led to what we think of as great English Country House look and style. Visit the Gilded Gentleman website.

Charles Lindbergh was not the first to fly across the Atlantic, non-stop--two British officers, largely lost to history did it eight years before. Robert Harder tells the story of Captain John Alcock and Lieutenant Arthur Whitten Brown, who made it from St.  Johns, Newfoundland to Cliveden, Ireland on June 14-15, 1919. At a time when aviation was beginning to capture the public's imagination, and technological advances allowed for records to be broken in quick succession, Alcock and Brown undertook the dangerous passage. Flying a wood and fabric Vickers Vimy, with minimal instruments and difficult to control, Harder chronicles the adventure, and gives Alcock and Brown their place in history back with "First Crossing." A freelance writer, Robert O. Harder served in the US Air Force Strategic Air Command during the Cold War years, a B-52D air crewman who flew 145 combat missions during the Vietnam War. Rated as a Navigator and Radar Bombardier, Harder flew nuclear training sorties and also stood Pad Alert. He later became a commercial pilot and flight instructor. His other books include "Flying from the Black Hole: The B-52 Navigator Bombardiers of Vietnam" and "The Three Musketeers of the Army Air Forces." He lives in Chicago.

KURIOSITET - På 1930-tallet møttes en gruppe britiske politikere, redaktører og akademikere jevnlig på godset Cliveden. De hadde til felles at de var innflytelsesrike mennesker som ønsket gode forbindelser til Nazi-Tyskland. Cliveden-gruppen, som den ble kalt, var nært knyttet til statsminister Neville Chamberlain. Hans forsonende appeasement-politikk overfor Hitler førte frem til den beryktede München-avtalen i 1938.

When you have a dream, and you're looking to make it happen—how long do people tell you it will take? Maybe you've heard something like, “It will never happen!” or “Forget about it! It's take you years!” Thankfully, this did not stop Samantha Evans, who founded Humphreys of Henley, where she partners with Four Seasons, the Corinthia, Mandarin Oriental, Le Manoir, Heckfield Place, Cliveden, and Calcot Collection—to deliver the most exquisite experience you can have in the British countryside. She shared with us how she started with Humphreys of Henley, how she handles doubt, and how she was able to connect with a hotel brand in her 1st attempt to reach out to them—with NO inside connection.

It's sixty years since the house party at Cliveden where Christine Keeler encountered Minister of War, John Profumo and the Soviet Naval attaché, Yevgeny Ivanov. The events of that weekend, a heady mix of sex, politics and espionage have filled newspapers, books, films and TV dramas. But that weekend was just one in a long line of intrigue and scandal at Cliveden.

I love the challenges of operating hotels... well, even if I don’t necessarily love them, because it’s really hard, I do at least find them utterly fascinating.  We’ve not been to a hotel for a while, but I so enjoyed chatting to Gareth Banner from The Ned a fair few episodes ago, I thought it was time to return.  This time, instead of one super huge hotel in the city, we’re taking a look at a few stunning properties spread over a somewhat larger area.  And If you want examples of how hotels can evolve with the times, and bring in new types of guests, without alienating their traditional following, this is the episode for you.      Andrew Stembridge is Executive Director of Iconic Luxury Hotels. They are a small and impressive collection, including The Lygon Arms, a coaching inn that dates back to the 1600s; Cliveden House, a stately home and Chewton Glen, an 18th Century manor house which has enjoyed half a century of award-winning 5 star-hospitality.   As you’ll hear, Chewton Glen has led the way over the decades. It was one of the first hotels in the country to open a spa, in 1990. Under Andrew’s leadership, it has also become very family-friendly, with wonderful tree house lodges (more on those in a moment), the Beehive Kids’ Club, and classes at the hotel’s cookery school, The Kitchen.   And by hosting Chris Evans’ Children in Need events, it's broadened its fanbase even more, and helped to raise millions of pounds along the way.  So how do you introduce so much change, and still maintain the historical spirit  of a place?  Keep listening, and you’ll find out.   

Episode 106 The Germantown section of Philadelphia is filled with historic homes, many dating back to the 1700s, and the homestead of one is even older.  If you wander a little further along Germantown Avenue, past Grumblethorpe, you’ll come to rather imposing Georgian home called Cliveden Mansion, built by Pennsylvania Chief Justice Benjamin Chew in … Continue reading "Ghosts of Germantown: Part 2 – Cliveden"

It's the equinox! Hooray. One of the four corners of the year. Here, we are turning into autumn. Sally and I met for our monthly chat at Cliveden, a very beautiful stately home outside London, famous, or infamous, for political intrigue. That seemed appropriate for the month ahead with Venus, the planet of love, digging around in sexy, secretive Scorpio, while the Sun sails through social, polite and political Libra. It's all pretty intriguing to say the least.

In this Cliveden mini episode, we learn of the mysteries and myths surrounding the world famous Sancy Diamond. This 55.23 carat diamond has travelled the world, passing through the hands of aristocrats, kings, queens and even the British Royal Family. The diamond also spent some time with the Astor family at Cliveden House.

In this episode of the National Trust Podcast we’re at Cliveden, Buckinghamshire. Set high above the Thames, the grounds of Cliveden House are home to a world famous parterre, Japanese Garden and topiary-lined long walk. Around every corner you’ll find stories of mystery, decadence and the fame and misfortune of Britain’s political elite. We take you behind the scenes of the Trust and shed light on some of the techniques our staff and volunteers use to keep the gardens at Cliveden looking spectacular all year round. In our two Cliveden mini episodes we unlock the secrets of the Sancy diamond, and get you better acquainted with some of Cliveden’s feathered residents.

New series launches 10th August 2017 with a visit to Cliveden in Buckinghamshire.

The National Trust recently completed a two-year process of revising its collections management policy to create parity between historic buildings, landscapes, and objects that it stewards for the benefit of the public and to use disposition proceeds to provide direct care across all aspects of this collection. This session will explore the process of developing and vetting these changes, along with the implication of these changes from the perspectives of the National Trust’s Legal Division and Technical Services, as well as a Site Director.

Topic: Part three in a series of shows inspired by recent current events involving the NSA, Prism, Edward Snowden and the barrage of leading questions from the mainstream media about the government's "legal" power to censor or silence the truth. And why do so many in the media want to bury the truth? This installment deals primarily with what my research has led me to believe was the actual subversion of the United States in the 20th century, by a vast network of internationalist and collectivist revolutionaries, tracing its roots to late-19th century British academia. Today, this subversion is often referenced with the nebulous term, New World Order.
