Zoom lecture – Ashdown House and the Legacy of the Winter Queen

Ashdown House has been called “a house built for the love of a woman who never lived to see it”. That woman was Elizabeth of Bohemia, the Winter Queen, sister of King Charles I. In this talk historian Nicola Cornick explores the influences this remarkable woman had over this equally remarkable building and its history.

Nicola is an author and historian specialising in public history. She has worked as a volunteer guide at National Trust Ashdown House for almost 20 years and is currently writing a book on its history.
