Top Quotes:
“Taking this on as a woman, many people will believe that what you’re doing isn’t correct. It’s important to think about your decisions, but make them, and stick to them.” - Martha Lytton-Cobbold
“There are still struggles. There are still issues that need to be addressed. Women need to be treated more equitably.” - Martha Lytton-Cobbold
About the Guest:
Martha Lytton-Cobbold was born in Alabama, and studied Art History and Journalism in NYU. She married her husband Henry Lytton-Cobbold and has two children. Martha is the first female president of The Historic House Association.
A manor house residing at Knebworth dates back as far as 1346. After the site was purchased by Sir Robert Lytton a grander estate was built roughly around 1500. Some of the best known residents of Knebworth include writer and politician Edward Bulwer Lytton, as well as the suffragette Constance Lytton. Although steepled in history for hundreds of years, Knebworth’s cultural significance has peaked in the modern day with its legendary concerts. Looking through a list of Knebworth performers is akin to reading members of the rock n roll hall of fame: Pink Floyd, Metallica, The Rolling Stones. But Knebworth does not just have notable performers, but notable performances: Led Zeppelin had their final concert here, Queen performed with Eddie Mercury for the final time at Knebworth, the legendary Oasis standing gigs occurred on the estate, and so on. As a result, Knebworth in the modern era continues to attract tourists with its historical pedigree, pop culture appeal, and beautiful landscape.

Join The Duchess as she embarks on a wonderful journey through time, to learn more about the incredible homes that have defined Great Britain and, most importantly, meet the other extraordinary women who work tirelessly behind their doors to preserve their history and magic for future generations.

Episode Description:
In this episode, the Duchess talks to the Countess of Mansfield, of the historic Scone Palace in Scotland. Lady Mansfield and the Duchess enjoy a wonderful conversation, where we hear the moving story of one of Britain’s first black aristocrats. Listeners learn about the 'Stone of Destiny' and the role Scone played as the crowing site of Scottish King's, and Lady Mansfield explains the origins behind one of Scone’s great treasures: Marie Antoinette’s writing desk.
Have you ever watched Bridgerton, The Crown or Downton Abbey and wondered what it's really like to be a Duchess? If so, this is the podcast for you.
Top Quotes:
“These houses need life. They need people. They only come alive when people are in them.” - the Countess of Mansfield
“In a stately home you become a jack of all trades. You’re always juggling. The most important thing is attention to detail.” - the Countess of Mansfield
“You are walking in the footsteps of Robert the Bruce, Macbeth. The way I explain it to people is: ‘Scone is the Westminster Abbey of Scotland.” - the Countess of Mansfield
“In heritage, you can’t afford to stand still.” - the Countess of Mansfield
“I want people to take away a sense of history. I want them to feel the Palace is alive.” - the Countess of Mansfield
About the Guest:
The Countess of Mansfield had a varied career, including working at Christie's and as a professional chef in London, before marrying her husband, the 9th Earl of Mansfield Alexander Murray, in 1985. The couple have four children together. Under their tenure Scone Palace has seen the estate become a major Scottish tourist attraction.
The land Scone Palace sits on is steeped in mysticism & ancient history. Originally a gathering place for the Picts, Scone is the site of the 'Moot Hill': the crowning site of Scottish kings, from Macbeth to Robert the Bruce. Scotland's first parliament meeting was opened at Scone, and the estate has been the home of the Murray family since 1604. The history of the Earls of Mansfield is storied and distinguished, but one of the greatest Earls is the 1st Earl: William Murray. William would become one of the most venerated lawyers in history and, perhaps most significantly, his legal decisions helped form the basis of the abolition of slavery in Britain, whilst simultaneously raising his biracial relation: Elizabeth Dido Belle, marking a crucial moment in British racial history. As the crowning place of Scottish kings, Scone now is one of Scotland’s great tourist destinations - bringing Scottish history to life, hosting events annually, and housing treasures such as Marie Antoinette’s writing desk.
