	John Charles Spencer, Viscount Althorp and third Earl Spencer (1782-1845)
		In general, Althorp, though in opposition, was not unfriendly to the Duke of Wellington's ministry, which lasted from October 1828 until November 1830, and during that period moderated the hostility of some friends of extreme views.
		Althorp was most reluctant to assume the burden of office with Lord Grey; he absolutely refused Lord Grey's suggestion that he should form and head the ministry, and only consented to join it on Lord Grey's assurance that on no other terms would he attempt to form one at all.
		Althorp took the responsibility of extricating the government from the necessity of either tolerating a riot or offending its supporters by privately sending to Thomas Attwood, through Joseph Parkes, an urgent message to postpone the meeting.

		Althorp House, situated in a large park and agricultural estate 120 kilometres northwest of London, is the 500-year-old ancestral home of Charles, Ninth Earl Spencer.
		Architecturally, Althorp has an understated simplicity that belies the riches within but which appropriately reflects the down-to-earth practicality of the 20 generations of Spencers who have lived there.
		Althorp is, after all, neither a museum nor a mausoleum but very much a family home and working estate.

	A Visit to Althorp
		He has been castigated for the admission price, questioned about the size of the proceeds slated for his sister's charities, mocked for the "tastelessness" of the inaugural pop concert he staged and derided for the "vulgarity" of the exhibitions he has arranged in what used to be Althorp's stables.
		This sentiment is echoed by visitors inside Althorp's stable block, a handsome, Italianate construct of honey-colored ironstone that once accommodated 100 horses and 40 grooms.
		The stables have been converted into two exhibition halls, tracing Diana's life from her infancy through her marriage to Prince Charles to her championing of the causes - land mines and leprosy and cancer and AIDS - that won her world renown.
