Celebrating Deborah Devonshire at Chatsworth HouseCelebrating Deborah Devonshire at Chatsworth House

In honour of the 90th birthday of Deborah, now Dowager Duchess of Devonshire and the last surviving Mitford sister, we mark the nine eventful decades of her life with a special exhibition illustrating her many interests and achievements.
Fascinating personal material and images, much never seen before, will offer a unique insight into the Dowager Duchess's life and work, from her childhood in Oxfordshire and marriage, her friendships with people as diverse as Lucian Freud, Evelyn Waugh, Jack Kennedy, Tom Stoppard and Alan Titchmarsh, to her many years of public service, and current well-earned status as a best-selling author and national treasure.
