      You would love some of the old Gilded-Age Newport mansions/estates in Rhode Island. Some pre-date the Gilded-Age and go back to 1700 - not quite as old as the original part of Mapperton. I think you can tour a few of them online, if you want a sneak peak.

I just discovered over this past weekend that my 5th cousin, Sir William Martin was the architect of Athelhampton house in Dorset! It's not too far from Mapperton so I will add Dean's Court also! I wish I could help somehow with the restoration! I enjoy hearing about the history, etc! My husband doesn't want to go so I'll bring my cousin for an unforgettable trip of a lifetime! Thank you Julie and Luke, your staff, and to the many Manor homeowners you bring to us on your ventures!

    Does he grow his own tomatoes or store bought. I have a way of growing tomatoes that as the bottom of the plant grows old and does not fruit and the leaves drop I lower it into the ground to reroot and thus tomatoe cages do not need to be as tall. Keeping them lower you can enclose them during the colder months and potentially in temporate areas get fresh tomatoes in winter. My parets had a plant that ver wintered for 3 years before an unexpected frost got it.

    As a second generation American with roots in Derbyshire (Matlock and Winster) I have watched hundred of curtsies. The curtsey looks like one foot slight behind the other, a gentle bend at the knees, not fast, not slow, and head bowed. Ultimate respect. Meghan realizes one picture is worth a thousands words. Meghan will get milage out of the photograph, she must have practiced for hours. The deep curtsy Meghan performed before Queen Elizabeth's catafalque was unnecessary and showboating. Even the slightest risk of toppling over or falling back on her bum would have disrupted one of the most solemn occasions.

      In Wareham, quite a lot. The walls remain and you can walk around them. The church, "St Martin's on the Walls" dates from the 7C and was rebuilt 1030. But it's the feel and geography of the town that gives you a good idea of what it must have been like. Surrounded by marshes and the river, (it still gets cut off sometimes, my son in law wrecked his car last winter in deep water on the road into Wareham) it still retains the feeling of being self contained and timeless.
