This is a charming blog, Katie. In fact many of the ladies at the current Singer Sargent exhibition at Kenwood are also mentioned in the current Cartier exhibition at the V & A. There is another exhibition, just opened (which I haven't seen yet) at Mapperton House in Dorset on a similar theme called 'Gilded Age - American Heiresses at Mapperton' which is on until 30 September. I hope to see that one, too.
Thanks for sharing such an interesting article Katie. I've put a trip to Kenwood House in my diary as a must-do for the summer holidays.
My sister-in-law and I really enjoyed your tour around the Hidden Gardens of London a couple of years ago which we really enjoyed. It's great to find you on Substack!
Nice to be reminded of Dido Elizabeth Belle.

Jane Austen, Mansfield Park and Fanny Price are also associated with Kenwood House: https://allthatlifecanafford.com/superfluities/kenwood-house-slavery-jane-austen/
Sounds wonderful, Katie.
I love Kenwood House - such a gem! We live in North London, so it’s basically in our backyard. Love the cafe and the Notting Hill connection!
