Listen to @duchessthepodcast (Ep5/S3)

This week, Emma Manners, the Duchess of Rutland, meets our remarkable Virginia Grant.

In this episode, the Duchess learns about the perfect architectural symmetry of Kingston Bagpuize House; is taken on a tour through the rare fauna on the Estate, and Virginia reveals what it’s really like to have Maggie Smith in your home.

At the helm of the Estate today is Virginia, who cares for the House with such passion and determination; and talks about the challenges she has encountered, and how her legal training has helped her to run a historic home.
