CATS OF THE NATIONAL TRUST

Winston Churchill requested that a marmalade cat should always be in residence at Chartwell; Thomas Hardy's Snowdove is buried at Max Gate; Betty Hussey crammed Scotney Castle full of feline objects and its current occupant, a cat named Betsy, can sometimes be found roaming the halls. Many of the National Trust’s former residents were cat-lovers, and this book explores the people, the places and the cats. Together with modern-day examples, this is a heart-warming guide to National Trust pets and the people who revered them.
