Lady Canarvon reveals the highs and lows of isolation inside the real Downton Abbey
We've watched the Crawley Family go through highs and lows, births and deaths, weddings and break-ups and even, most recently, a visit from the Royal Family, all framed the Jacobean-style house and the 5,000-acre Hampshire escape.But to Lady Canarvon, it is home, and a home which has seen rather drastic change in its day-to-day life since lockdown began.
'It's 300 rooms,' she said, 'I looked at it and thought it was too much. I’m at my desk for 12-hours a day. So we're the main office team, with two or three others who have been living and working together, so that's our first focus.' Referring to how they were going to keep things going, she confessed that there was no 'pot of gold' to help them, and they were relying on earning money through sales of their new Highclere Gin. They're also hopeful that things will get back on track soon.
