"Throughout the house 16th, 17th and 18th centuries meet each other at every turn. Yet - and this is notably characteristic of Mapperton - they do not quarrel. Diversity never means discord. Rather the different ages combine to create an unexpected and richer harmony … Everywhere diverse elements are subdued to achieve a common character, happy and fanciful.

Lord David Cecil
