Ralph Dutton, 8th Baron Sherborne, was one of the leading
taste-makers of his generation. Together with figures such as
Christopher Hussey and James Lees-Milne, he helped create the
perception that the apogee of English architecture and design was
the 18th century; and in his own house and garden at Hinton Ampner,
beloved of hundreds of thousands of National Trust visitors a year,
he showed how to make that taste supremely effective in our own
time. This biography, the first, explores how his achievements took
shape, and how they were rooted in his circle of friends and fellow
enthusiasts and scholars, all of whom played a part in creating
heritage as we understand it today. John Holden, a leading cultural
historian, charts Dutton's life with warmth and critical
acumen.Â
