HISTORY & BIOGRAPHY
Adrian Tinniswood
The House Party explores privilege and leisure in the glamorous world of
the country house, showing the reader what it was really like to spend a
weekend with the sedate antiquarian and the Jazz Age industrialist, the

in his or her overnight bag. Tinniswood reveals how the great and good
partied at mansions such as Knole and Dunham Massey and what a
discreet weekend gathering at Winston Churchill’s Chartwell might entail.

and Margaret Gaskin trace every phase of his life, always circling back to
Chartwell – just as the great man himself did.

you. You can be mindful in the garden or on a country walk or at your desk
– it doesn’t matter. Wherever you are, following the advice in this book for Mindfulness
