Thanks for your kind comments (and thanks to Jim and Jonathan for theirs
too).
You're probably thinking of Chatsworth, which although definitely
spectacular and worth a visit or ten (I was walking in the grounds the
other weekend) is architecturally a little less coherent. I was tempted
to build Lyme Park, used in the BBC version of P&P, on account of it
being located by the town called Disley. But Kedleston offered the
greatest variety of features in an impressive but not excessively large
façade, and fits with the Scottish architecture theme of my other
mansion inasmuch as Robert Adam was responsible for its completion and
interiors.
I'd point her to the Bricklink prices of those tan goblets - thankfully
I managed to find enough friends with a few, but at current prices
you're talking $170. Several other parts seem to have price or
availability issues - clearly I've been more fortunate than I realised,
but I think I was collecting parts for about three years before I began
to actually build.
But one beauty of classical buildings is that if you get the relative
scale right, they work at a number of different sizes. There are
classical boxes, small and large, dotted all over the UK. So a
micro-scale replica would still have some wow factor, and be rather
easier to store and move.
