An Arts Society Wimbledon lecture by Caroline Rahman

This lecture presents the story of three very different but hugely successful families: the Sackville-Wests, the Astors and the Rothschilds. The Sackville -Wests have been part of the establishment since the Conqueror and the other two families were wealthy immigrants who came to England in the 19th century. Caroline will trace the history of the families, discuss their contribution to life in England and celebrate the splendid gardens they created at Sissinghurst, Cliveden and Waddesdon.
