56 loos (toilets), and 2,084 light bulbs. The

and sculpture collected for 450 years. He also
owns another 40,000 acres, including Bolton
Abbey, the most romantic ruin in Yorkshire
Lismore Castle in Ireland a chunk of the West
End in London and a goodly extent of Eastbourne,
a shabbily genteel resort on the Sussex coast.
Unable to pay his bills in the 1950s, the duke
opened his estates to the public. By 2002,
Chatsworth was bringing in 500,000 visitors a
year and making a profit. The Chatsworth staff,

and lined the road that led through the deer park
to Edensor (see photo). Source The Economist, 13

the particular ends we have in view and the
