Bravo; you stayed focused on the house. Good video. There has been a very noticeable uptick in tourism at Highclere since it was used as the set for Downton Abbey. This was one of the great houses that benefited from a large inflow of money from a wealthy wife, but unlike Cora Levinson, the bride was English: Almina, the illegitimate daughter (and only child) of Alfred Rothschild. If you saw the episode where Mary and Sir Richard Carlisle, the man she planned to marry for his money, were touring a house to buy, that scene was filmed at Alfred's own Halton House.

@bigredc222 According to her biography, it also seems that whenever she needed money for anything, all she had to do was ask.
