Many are still in private hands others have been given to the National Trust to care for the nation. You don't have to be a member of the National Trust to visit National Trust properties BUT, if you are a member you get free access.<BR/><BR/>Estates in private hands are often open to the public and charge admission. It's away of getting money to maintain them.<BR/><BR/>Obviously opening hours are restricted.The Quacks of Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05165918541194607143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22777475.post-59479705430740957942007-05-20T22:05:00.000+01:002007-05-20T22:05:00.000+01:00Would Stowe now be a private school then?
