Cream Teas, Traffic Jams And Sunburn: The Great British Holiday
Waterstones Product Information
You save: £3.20 The British on holiday: how can four simple words evoke so many vivid images, images of raw sunburn and relentless rain, of John Bull's Pub (in Lanzarote) and Antonio's Tapas Bar (in Torquay), of endless queues to get through security at Manchester Airport, or Gatwick, or Glasgow, or Luton, and endless tailbacks on the M5, or M6, or M25, but also images of carefree sploshing in Portuguese swimming-pools and lazy lunches in the Provencal sun? In this funny, acutely observed and engaging social history, Brian Viner celebrates the holidaying British, with their quirks and their quinine tablets, and their blithe assumption that the elderly man selling oranges at the roadside in Corfu, so photogenic with his walnut face and three teeth, must surely understand just a few, uncomplicated English sentences. He examines the fortnight-long cruise at one end of the holiday spectrum, and a day's rambling in the Lake District at the other. He looks at how the holidaying British evolved into the big-spending, many-headed beast we know today, by recalling not only the holidays that we took as children, but the holidays our grandparents, and their grandparents, took.It is a story that connects Blackpool with Barcelona, Mauritius with Margate. It is a story, indeed, that connects us all.

The National Trust: Ham House
The Hut Product Information
National Trust: National Treasures is a private tour of a selection of The National Trust's spectacular houses castles and abbeys. Here the 17th century Stuart mansion on the banks of the Thames: Ham House.In a world of late trains lousy weather and international sporting losses it's easy to forget the things Britain is uniquely good at. Constitutional monarchies for example or Marmite depending on your point of view. But perhaps best of all is The National Trust. Where would we be without the Trust's meticulously-preserved historic houses beautifully-tended gardens or (let's face it) diet-endingly delicious cream teas?The National Trust was founded in 1895 by Victorian philanthropists. Over a century later it now looks after over 612 000 acres of countryside in England Wales and Northern Ireland 700-plus miles of coastline and over 200 houses and gardens monuments and mills and churches and chapels of outstanding interest and importance.This series National Trust: National Treasures examines a selection of these properties in detail. It takes you on a private guided tour of the selected properties charting each of their often colourful histories and revealing a selection of their art treasures - from 17th-century tapestries and Renaissance stained glass to sculptures by Henry Moore and oriental rugs - with the help of the Trust's many and varied experts. Atmospheric lavishly-shot and with great attention to detail and illuminating explanations from members of the properties' staff it's almost as good a good as being there - although of course you do have to provide your own scones and jam…Built in 1610 on the banks of the Thames between Richmond and Kingston and extended in the 1670s Ham House is one of the most outstanding Stuart houses from that period.17th century:The house was constructed for Sir Thomas Vavasour Knight Marshal to James I but in 1626 the house fell into the ownership of William Murray who had been the 'whipping boy' for the future Charles I. He took punishment on behalf of the young prince and formed a close bond with him growing up to share his taste in art and architecture.During his tenure he extensively remodelled the interior of Ham creating the Great Staircase and a suite of sumptuous rooms on the first floor. The decoration is intact in most of these rooms and the remaining part of Murray's art collection gives us a rare picture of fashions under Charles I.In 1655 Ham passed to Murray's eldest daughter Elizabeth. Her father's titles were conferred upon her in 1655 after his death when she became the Countess of Dysart. Described by contemporaries as beautiful ambitious and greedy she married Sir Lionel Tollemache a wealthy and cultivated squire in 1648 and had eleven children with him. She became renowned as a political schemer and is said to have belonged to the Sealed Knot the secret organisation supporting the exiled King.Following Tollemache's death in 1669 in 1672 Lady Dysart married John Maitland 1st Duke of Lauderdale Secretary of State for Scotland and together they extended and refurnished Ham as a palatial villa reflecting the Duke's status as one of the most powerful ministers of Charles II. Much of this luxurious interior decoration survives today along with rare textiles furniture and paintings.18th century:After the Duke's death in 1682 the Duchess was forced to curb her extravagance and was eventually reduced to pawning her favourite pictures and jewellery. Following her death in 1698 her son Lionel took little interest in the house but by contrast the 3rd Earl's grandson and heir another Lionel and the 4th Earl carried out major structural repairs in the 1740s. filling many of the rooms with new furniture and paintings.Most notably the Queen's Bedchamber furnished by the Lauderdales for Charles' Queen Catherine of Braganza was converted into a first-floor drawing room. The mahogany chairs gilt pier-glasses and tables and tapestries after Watteau survive in situ.The 5th Earl partially re-landscaped the garden and was succeeded in 1799 by his brother Wilbraham who immediately made improvements inside and outside the house. The 6th Earl was a generous patron of Reynolds and Gainsborough. He created the striking Yellow Satin Bedroom but most of his changes were antiquarian in spirit enhancing Ham's 17th-century character.19th century - the present:Little changed at Ham between the 6th Earl's death in 1821 and 1884 when William 9th Earl of Dysart came of age. Sixty years of benign neglect had left the house and its contents in urgent need of repair and Lord Dysart embarked on a thorough restoration campaign. The roof was renewed electricity and heating installed and much of the 17th-century furniture repaired. The 9th Earl died in 1935 when Ham passed to his second cousin Sir Lyonel Tollemache. Sir Lyonel and his son...

The castle is a masterpiece in Dartmoor granite that blends into the landscape to give the appearance of having been there for centuries.The first 20th-century property accepted by the Trust it combines the grandeur of a medieval castle with the interior of a country house. Lutyens designed the 4.9-hectare (12-acre) garden to reflect the architectural vision of the castle with the wild moor encroaching into the formal areas. Planted by George Dillistone and influenced by Gertrude Jekyll the garden's (which is currently undergoing major replanting) varied walks throughout the surrounding Teign Gorge provide spectacular views.
