Synopsis
A country retreat on a grand scale, Cliveden's magnificent gardens and breathtaking views have been admired for centuries. Since it was built high above the Thames in the second half of the 17th century, Cliveden has been a powerhouse--a place visited by royalty and the politically influential. Its first owner, the Duke of Buckingham, was brought up with the children of Charles I, and was instrumental in the restoration of Charles II. Lord Orkney, the next owner, and his wife, Elizabeth Villiers, a one-time mistress of William III, hosted both George I and George II at Cliveden, while their successors, the Sutherland family, among the wealthiest in the land, were often at home to Queen Victoria. However, it was during the tenure of Nancy and Waldorf Astor that Cliveden became the glamorous center of political, literary, and artistic society. Guest from David Lloyd George, Herbert Asquith, Anthony Eden, Winston Churchill, and Neville Chamberlain to Sylvia Pankhurst, George Bernard Shaw, Henry Ford, Mahatma Gandhi, Amy Johnson, and Charlie Chaplin were invited to enjoy the lavish hospitality of Charles Barry's architecture and the beauty of the gardens. A wider public became aware of Cliveden in 1963 when John Profumo, Secretary of State for War in the Macmillan government, met call-girl Christine Keeler by the swimming pool here, when he was a guest of the 3rd Lord Astor in 1961. Profumo's brief affair with Keeler, who was also involved with Soviet naval attache Evegeny Ivanov, raised fears about national security, and he was forced to resign. The National Trust took over in 1966, and it is currently run as a hotel with a garden open to visitors. This guide contains details of the development of the garden and house, the history of the people who owned, visited, and lived there, a fold-out bird's-eye map and timeline, walks, and highlights of the gardens and magnificent classical sculpture collection., A country retreat on a grand scale, Cliveden's magnificent gardens and breathtaking views have been admired for centuries.

- 6***t (481)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchasePurchasing form this company can at times be frustrating due to items never arriving, very low shipping time and the inability to track the items. But I gave them another chance and purchased many maps and books over the past few months and have received all of them. Last year, it was hit and miss. All items were in the condition as described. Packaging is minimal. The only downside is extremely slow shipping. I rate them a C+. Nothing to gloat about but eventually you will get what you wanted.
- n***d (50)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseExcellent seller. Package was delayed ( by bad weather) and then misplaced at PO( placed in wrong box #) but I contacted the seller and they responded quickly and I got my item today. This seller went the extra mile and I would highly recommend them and will shop here again. I also want to say the price for this complete hard to find item was way below most of the other listings. Condition was good as stated, and although I've only watched the first disc it's quality is good.
