Welcome to TGP Tidbits where we round up the happenings and our musings of the design industry each week. This week we take a look at the launch of the Mapperton House & Gardens virtual tour, Staud Court, and Hudson Moore’s latest book for Schumacher, Blue and White Done Right. Written by Natalie Aldridge.
Mapperton House & Gardens Virtual Tour
Julie Montagu, the American-born Viscountess Hinchingbrooke, has captured the hearts of many through her captivating portrayal of life at the Mapperton Estate, her family’s ancestral Jacobean estate. Situated amidst the picturesque surroundings of Dorset, this expansive estate was acquired in 1955 by Victor Montagu, Viscount Hinchingbrooke, and then passed to his son, The 11th Earl of Sandwich. Mapperton encompasses over 800 acres of land featuring sprawling gardens, the charming All Saints’ Church, a collection of historic out-buildings, the main residence, and the renowned 18th-century swimming pool.
With her vibrant American perspective, Montagu skillfully portrays both the enchanting beauty along with the less glamorous aspects of manor house living. Alongside her husband, Luke Montagu, Viscount Hinchingbrooke, she diligently works towards ensuring the profitability and preservation of the estate for future generations.
This week the pair made an exciting announcement. Mapperton House & Gardens is now available to be toured virtually! With 360-degree images, videos, and ambient sounds, this immersive tour will whisk you away to the English countryside without the cost of a plane ticket. With the delightful guidance of the Earl and Countess of Sandwich, you may to pore over the estate’s interiors, collections of art, uncover the rich history of the Montagu family, visit the All Saints Church, and stroll through the lush Gardens.
