Treasure Houses of England
The Treasure Houses of England are a cultural heritage consortium founded in the early 1970s for nine of the most important stately homes in England that are still in private hands. His main activity is in the areas of marketing and advertising in order to develop the properties together as tourist attractions. There are currently ten buildings in the group. These are (along with their historical owners):
- Beaulieu Palace House ( Dukes of Montagu ; now owned by Lord Montagu of Beaulieu )
- Blenheim Palace ( Dukes of Marlborough )
- Burghley House ( The Cecil family ; now owned by the Burghley House Preservation Trust)
- Castle Howard ( Earls of Carlisle ; now owned by The Honorable Simon Howard)
- Chatsworth House ( Dukes of Devonshire )
- Harewood House ( Earls of Harewood )
- Hatfield House ( Marquesses of Salisbury )
- Holkham Hall ( Earls of Leicester )
- Leeds Castle (now owned by the Leeds Castle Foundation)
