In this episode, Julie Montagu, American Countess, visits the remarkable Birdshall House to sit down with Lady Cara Willoughby, whose family has lived in this house for over 500 years.
Together, they explore Birdshall’s exceptional collection of antique furniture and paintings, many of which have been passed down through generations of the Willoughby family. From an unbroken line of family portraits dating back to 1570 to a furniture collection that rivals the finest English country houses, Birdshall is a home where history is not just preserved—it’s lived.
Lady Cara shares her passion for this historic estate, the stories behind the art and antiques, and her ambitious plans to preserve and protect Birdshall House for the future. This is an inspiring conversation about stewardship, storytelling, and the power of place.
