We are Emma and James Lowsley-Williams, the proud inheritors of the Chavenage Estate, a 2000-acre Cotswold estate that’s been in James’s family for six generations. At the heart of the estate is the magnificent 500-year-old Elizabethan Manor, and now it’s our turn to continue its legacy. Join us on our journey as we navigate the challenges of owning, running, and preserving this historic estate in the modern world. From renovating the manor, launching new businesses, to uncovering the rich history of the estate, we’ll take you behind the scenes of our adventure. On this channel, we’ll share our triumphs and struggles, whether it’s tackling historic renovations, starting new ventures, or learning about our family’s heritage. We hope you’ll join us as we breathe new life into Chavenage Estate and preserve its legacy for the future. PLEASE SUBSCRIBE!
