Spencer family home/Althorp
 
Has anyone visited Althorp recently? Not sure whether to keep that on our itinerary or not.

I'm pretty sure it's only open July and August.....

<BR>Renee- <BR>Just a quick aside, I've been reading a great book "Georgiana" about a member of the Spencer family who became Duchess of Devonshire in 18th. century England. Not many specific references to Althorp but the author does detail society of the time in amazing fashion. Just thought you might be interested.

Thanks Nemo for telling us you read. I too read Georgianna last spring. What that has to do with the question I do not know.

xxxxxx <BR>The book is relevant as it is about a member of the Spencer family
