Show Notes
Bunny chats to Her Grace, The Duchess of Rutland, Emma, in her gardens at Belvoir Castle.
Emma talks about her life and gardens, including how she won a scholarship to the Guildhall School of Music to study opera singing, before changing direction and training as a land agent.
Emma has completed many ambitious projects at Belvoir, including recreating the Capability Brown scheme for Belvoir Castle which was Brown’s final scheme, plus creating The Engine Yard, a retail village next to the castle, complete with a small hotel. Emma also explains how she has managed to bounce back from her breakdown, which was triggered by the break-up of her marriage.
Emma also talks about the hugely successful podcast ‘The Duchess’, that she started, where she would chat to other chatelaines of English country houses.
