I know what you mean Joy - guess it had a profound effect on a lot of us. I have no links with Chatsworth either but I loved the place. What I found interesting in the programme was the surnames as they introduced staff - same names show up on Derbysgen all the time like Storer and Moseley. I have Moseley's in my family who moved to Wales. And they all talk like my relatives!

However long I gazed at that violin, I couldn't convince myself it wasn't real. . . Unfortunately, I have no links with Chatsworth, but my uncle's GF, Sidney LAIT, was Clerk to the Chatsworth Estate, and he and his wife, Harriette [ADDISON], were buried at Edensor. They died in May and November 1895, respectively. Interestingly, in view of Joseph PAXTON's involvement with the Great Exhibition, Harriette's father, John, was a Globe Maker and the Malby firm of Globe Makers produced 'a strikingly large reissue of John Addison’s 1825 terrestrial globe at about 36 inches in diameter (92 cm) for the Great Exhibition.' (Thanks to my cartographer brother, Roger, for pointing me towards the globemaker website, which produced this quote) Kind regards Joy > I was so impressed with the painting of > the violin on the back of one of the bedroom doors - it has stuck with me > all these years.
