A Visit To Stratfield Saye in July 2015 - 200 Years After The Battle Of Waterloo
UK: APSLEY HOUSE: HOME OF FIRST DUKE OF WELLINGTON RE-OPENS
English/Nat
One of Britain's most famous addresses - Number One, London - has re-opened its doors to the public after a 6-million pound facelift.
Apsley House was the home of the first Duke of Wellington - who won the Battle of Waterloo. The lavish, 18th-century mansion houses one of the country's biggest art collections and has been a museum for almost fifty years.
The address could hardly be easier to remember - Number One London - so called because it was once the first building seen by travellers entering the city from the west. Apsley House was built in 1771 for the second Early of Bathhurst, Baron Apsley.
Its most famous resident, however, was the first Duke of Wellington - the victor at Waterloo, and a former British Prime Minister - who bought Apsley House in 1817 for the princely sum of 42 thousand pounds. Wellington made it his London home after a dazzling military career in India, Spain and Portugal, culminating in his defeat of Napoleon at Waterloo in 1815.
The lavish mansion - on Hyde Park corner - has been handed down through generations of the Duke's descendants.
In 1947 the family gave the house to the nation and since then it has been run as the Wellington Museum. Three years ago it closed its doors for an extensive refurbishment programme commissioned by the Department of National Heritage which is directly responsible for this Grade 1 listed building.
SOUNDBITE:
I've no doubts that there will be a lot of visitors who will come here, both from Britain and of course from elsewhere in Europe and elsewhere in the world, because the first Duke of Wellington is a figure that almost everyone's heard of and it's an opportunity to come and see where he lived and see some of the things he had around him when he was here.
SUPER CAPTION: Stephen Dorrell - British Heritage Minister
Throughout the three-year project, teams of builders and experts from the Victoria and Albert Museum - which administers Apsley House and its collections - worked side by side to restore it to its former glory. They included specialists in historic interiors and conservation to recreate the building's original fittings and finishes.
SOUNDBITE:
We've been very lucky in that there are quite a lot of water colours which were made at about the time of the first Duke, showing the disposition of the painters, the hang of the paintings, showing where the furniture was placed, showing details of the carpet. And we've tried through our research to go back as closely as possible to a restoration of the house at the time when the first Duke was living here.
SUPER CAPTION: Elizabeth Esteve-Coll, Director Victoria & Albert Museum
The Duke of Wellington's military success brought him impressive gifts from grateful heads of state. Many works in the collection of over 200 paintings originally came from the Spanish Royal Collection dating back to the 17th century. There is also a large group by the Dutch and Flemish masters.
Wellington's spectacular dinner and dessert services are on display in the Plate and China Room including a huge gold platter depicting the Duke and his arch-enemy Napoleon on the field at Waterloo.

Apsley House
Apsley House ist ein repräsentatives Stadthaus in London, das dem Herzog von Wellington, der in Waterloo über Napoleon siegte, als Residenz diente. Es ist heute ein Museum und beherbergt eine bedeutende Kunstsammlung. Das bei Hyde Park Corner gelegene Haus wurde von dem Architekten Robert Adam in den Jahren von 1771 bis 1778 errichtet. Es war die erste imposante Residenz nach Passieren der Zolltore von Nightsbridge, was ihm die populäre Adresse „No. 1 London einbrachte.
1817 wurde das Gebäude vom Arthur Wellesley, 1. Duke of Wellington, erworben und war seither die Londoner Stadtresidenz der Familie. Der neue Besitzer ließ von dem Architekten Benjamin Dean Wyatt erhebliche Änderungen des Exterieurs vornehmen. Im Zuge dieser Arbeiten erhielt das Bauwerk seinen klassizistischen Säulenvorbau sowie sein Verblendmauerwerk aus honigfarbenem Kalkstein. Innen kam die Waterloo Galerie für die Gemälde des Herzogs hinzu.

Interesting old historic house.
Wolfeton House 'under threat from a housing estate'
An Elizabethan manor that inspired Thomas Hardy's novel 'The Mayor of Casterbridge' is under threat from plans to build a housing estate in the field next door.Campaigners say the controversial plans for 120 homes would 'damage the environs' of 16th century Wolfeton House near Dorchester, Dorset.It was owned by the Trenchard family whose name provided the inspiration for the main character in Hardy's 1886 book 'The Mayor of Casterbridge'.The current owner, retired army officer, Captain Nigel Thimbleby, is a direct relative of the Trenchards and not prepared to let the plans go through without a fight.He said: 'I have absolutely no doubt he would be appalled at what is going on.' Despite huge opposition to the proposals, West Dorset District Council has recommended they be approved, with the final decision to take place at a committee meeting in three weeks.Captain Thimbleby, 82, added: 'The parish council had voted unanimously against this development and we all thought it was unlikely to proceed.'It was only recently that we realised we were being taken for a ride.'We have got three weeks to sharpen our pencils and do battle and oppose these plans with vigour.'Thomas Hardy was very committed to the Dorset countryside and he was a great walker.'He used to walk to the house from his house just the other side of Dorchester and I have absolutely no doubt that he would be appalled at what is going on.' His wife Katharine added: 'There is no infrastructure in the village for this size of a development.'There is far too much traffic here already.You walk through the village at your peril.'There are no available spaces in the village school.Where are these new children going to go to school?' Developers want to build the homes on land just 200 yards away from Wolfeton House, just south of the village of Charminster.The estate would include 42 affordable homes and a play area.It would be the first time in 400 years the surrounding landscape changes.Captain Thimbleby's relatives the Trenchards were the inspiration for the Henchard family –the central characters of the Mayor of Casterbridge.Hardy's novel tells the tale of Michael Henchard, his wife Susan and baby daughter Elizabeth-Jane, who travel far and wide in the hope of bagging Michael a job.On their journey he gets drunk and jokingly agrees to sell his wife and daughter to a sailor for five guineas.After he realises what he has done, he searches the town but to no avail.When the sailor dies 18 years later, Susan and Elizabeth-Jane try to find Michael and find he is the Mayor of a town called Casterbridge.The long-lost lovers meet and decide to spare their daughter the shame of what happened and agree to pretend they have only just met.Wolfeton House also featured in the seventh of his short story collection A Group of Noble Dames.It was the home of The Lady Penelope, a character based on Lady Penelope D'Arcy, the wife of Wolfeton House owner George Trenchard.Tony Fincham, of the Hardy Society, said

There tunnels near it have their walls adorned with scenes of Waterloo. The Duke of Wellington was given this house to reward him for winning the Battle of Waterloo. The Iron Duke was not so popular in later years.
