I loved the kitchen in Hancock — before the refrigerator was thrown. I loved the windows and expansive counters and storage space.

Castle Howard is a beautiful example of Baroque architecture. The exterior was also featured in the 1975 film “Barry Lyndon”. The recent feature film of “Brideshead Revisited,” however, was not compelling in its attempt to subvert what Evelyn Waugh intended and pales next to the original 1981 TV miniseries.

The branch of the Howard family that resides here are distant cousins of the Howards (technically Fitzalan-Howards) who hold the dukedom of Norfolk, are still Catholic, and reside at Arundel Castle in the south of England, an actual medieval castle with Victorian upgrades. Arundel Castle has plausibly substituted for Windsor Castle in the 1994 film “The Madness of King George” and in the upcoming “The Young Victoria,” to be released later this year.

Be–U–Tee–Full! I know this from the PBS series (with Jeremy Irons). Awesome adaptation of the book. This house is stunning and the perfect setting for the story.
