SUMMARY:Zoom | Power & Glory: The English Country House Before the Great War with Adrian Tinniswood\, OBE
DESCRIPTION:Baddesley Clinton\, Warwickshire \nIn the decades before the First World War\, the owners of the nation’s stately homes reveled in a golden age of glamour where privilege and hedonism went hand-in-hand with duty and honour. At a time when Britain ruled over a quarter of the worlds’ population\, privileged few lived in ancestral stately country homes encumbered by history. However\, by the end of the 19th century\, members of the elite and landed gentry found themselves living in the company of arrivistes. Their new neighbors—from chorus girls to millionaire greengrocers to guano impresarios—were unencumbered by the weight of tradition. They used their “new money” to bring innovations to the country house\, affecting every aspect of life\, from the kitchen to the drawing room. In a fascinating prequel to his lecture and best-seller The Long Weekend\, Adrian Tinniswood OBE will speak about life in the English country house and describe how the self-made millionaires turned that traditional world upside down—bringing automobiles and labour-saving devices to mansions that had been standing virtually unchanged for generations. He will explore the impact of new technologies on both old homes and old owners. Could the romance of the past exist alongside the shock of the new? While electric light and bathrooms with hot and cold running water might have made things easier both above and below stairs\, it still could not quite banish the ghosts of the past. Professor Tinniswood will explain that the period before the horrors of the Great War was indeed a golden age for the British country house\, but not for the reasons we might expect. \nAdrian Tinniswood\, OBE \nAdrian Tinniswood OBE FSA\, studied English and Philosophy at Southampton University and was awarded an MPhil at Leicester University. He has acted as a consultant to the National Trust and the Heritage Lottery Fund. He is currently Senior Research Fellow in History at the University of Buckingham and Visiting Fellow in Heritage and History at Bath Spa University. He has lectured at several Universities in both the United Kingdom and United States\, including the University of Oxford and the University of California\, Berkeley. He is the author of 16 books on architectural and social history including His Invention So Fertile: A Life of Christopher Wren; By Permission of Heaven: The True Story of the Great Fire of London; The Verneys\, Pirates of Barbary; The Long Weekend: Life in the English Country House Between the Wars; Behind the Throne: A Domestic History of the Royal Household (2018). Tinniswood was appointed Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in the 2013 Birthday Honours for services to heritage. \nTickets: $15 members*; $25 non-members \n*Membership discount applied automatically when logged into your Royal-Oak.org account

SUMMARY:Zoom | London’s Great Hotels Virtual Tour
DESCRIPTION:The George Inn is the only remaining galleried inn in London and was familiar to Charles Dickens. \nLondon’s Great Hotels\nZoom Live\nTuesday\, November 26 | 2:00 p.m. ET \nBefore the 19th century\, visitors to London had limited options for accommodation\, primarily relying on gentlemen’s clubs\, lodging houses\, and coaching inns. Stephen Benton will unveil the fascinating history of London’s hotels through a digital walking tour\, made for Royal Oak. Our journey will begin with the last surviving galleried coaching inn in London\, the wonderful George Inn\, now preserved by the National Trust. We will explore how the advent of the railway revolutionized travel and accommodation\, leading to the establishment of hotels at many of London’s main stations\, including the magnificent Gothic marvel at St Pancras. By the early 20th century\, some of London’s most iconic hotels had been founded\, such as Claridge’s\, The Langham\, The Ritz\, and The Savoy\, which was substantially rebuilt in the 1930s in a flamboyant Art Deco style. Between the World Wars\, several grand aristocratic townhouses were demolished to make way for iconic hotels like The Dorchester and Grosvenor House. The 1960s introduced London’s first hotel tower\, the Hilton\, while the 1980s saw the rise of boutique hotels\, often housed in repurposed historic buildings. Today\, London boasts over 700 hotels with more than 120\,000 rooms\, ranging from the richly historic to the purely utilitarian. Join Stephen Benton for a captivating exploration of this diverse and ever-evolving landscape. \nTickets: $30 Members*; $40 Non-Members\n*Membership discount applied automatically when logged into your Royal-Oak.org account

SUMMARY:Zoom | Millionaire Houses Along the Strand with Dr. Paula Henderson
DESCRIPTION:Millionaire Houses Along the Strand \nThe Strand\, London \nThe Strand\, a major street in the City of Westminster\, London was\, from the middle ages\, the most prestigious place to live in London. Running from the Temple on the east to Charing Cross on the west (just as it does today)\, the Strand was strategically placed between two power centres: the City and Westminster. Furthermore\, from the 1530s\, leading courtiers and aristocrats acquired the magnificent medieval bishops’ inns and their spacious gardens\, adapting the houses and beautifying the gardens as showpieces\, visible to all who travelled on the Thames. Like the palaces along the Grand Canal in Venice\, these great houses were seen as powerful expressions of the city’s wealth and grandeur. While most of these houses were on the south side of the Strand\, Lord Burghley built a new house along the north side. A recently discovered plan of his house and garden is the most important source of information about the splendour and complexity of these houses and gardens\, a short period in London’s history of true rus in urbe. \n\n\nPaula Henderson\, Architectural and Garden Historian \nPaula Henderson has degrees in art history (University of Chicago\, M.A.) and Ph.D. in architectural history from the Courtauld Institute of Art (University of London). She lectures widely in Britain (where she lived for 43 years) and the United States and has published over 70 articles on English Houses and their landscapes. Her first book\, The Tudor House and Garden: architecture and landscape in the 16th and 17th centuries (published by Yale University Press)\, won the Berger Prize for the outstanding contribution to the history of British art 2005. Francis Lincoln published Treehouses (co-authored with Adam Mornement)\, also in 2005. She is currently completing books on London gardens in the age of Shakespeare and on the Landscape as Art. She has taught courses for the Courtauld Institute of Art\, and more recently for the V&A museum. She has lectured for the Paul Mellon Center for British Art\, the Architectural Association\, both Oxford and Cambridge Universities\, Birkbeck college\, Christie’s Education\, The Inchbald School of Design\, the V&A museum\, the Tate Gallery\, The Garden History Society\, Sir John Soane’s Museum\, among others. She led tours for the Courtauld Institute to Florence (‘Gardens of the Medici’) Debyshire (‘Elizabethan architecture’) and the Cotswolds (‘Gardens of the Cotswolds’). She is a Fellow of Society of Antiquaries of London and now splits her time between Nantucket\, Massachusetts\, and Williamsburg\, Virginia. \nTickets: $15 members*; $25 non-members \n*Membership discount applied automatically when logged into your Royal-Oak.org account
