	The Ditchley Foundation
		The Ditchley Foundation was established by Sir David Wills in 1958 to advance international learning and to bring transatlantic and other experts together to discuss the world’s problems.
		Ditchley’s unique quality is derived from the beauty and relaxed atmosphere of Ditchley Park in Oxfordshire, one of southern England’s finest country houses, and from the warmth and informality of its gatherings.
		The various sections on this website describe the history of Ditchley Park and the background to the Foundations and their conferences, and how the mansion and its facilities are occasionally available for private hire.

	Ditchley Progress (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		Woodstock is interestingly regarded as articulating either a clear rejection of Leicester's amorous message to Elizabeth at the earlier Kenilworth or, conversely, as a continuation of Leicester's chivalric display.
		Ditchley itself, like the earlier Woodstock, is very much cast as a chivalric romance, Lee representing himself as the knight-turned-hermit, evidence of his importance (along with the Accession Day Tilts) in a revival of the notion of English chivalry.
		Lee is referring to the visit of Elizabeth to Ditchley, a fact that casts a different light upon the context of the chivalric romance that she witnessed upon her arrival.

		That made Ditchley worry about his own estate being picked clean, so he called on Thurmond Hotchkiss O'Mulvaney Garcia and Ginsburg, where a junior partner had a secretary copy a few paragraphs from a book and then presented him with a brand-new will and a bill for $500.
		Ditchley was becoming, frankly, a little paranoid on the subject of lawyers.
		Finally, Ditchley's wife decided to start a career; $50,000 and two bankrupt batik boutiques later, she got into a law school.

	History Lives at Ditchley and Bletchley - The Churchill Centre
		Ditchley had been the home of the Dillon and Lee families for over 300 years and when Ronald Tree bought it he described it as presenting "an unforgettable picture of magnificence and accumulated junk." By 1940 the junk had been cleared and the magnificence restored.
		Ditchley Park is now owned by the Ditchley Foundation, an Anglo-American educational trust which seeks to further transatlantic understanding through a programme of conferences and seminars.
		A visit to Ditchley Park is a must to combine with a visit to nearby Blenheim Palace.

		NPG 2561; Queen Elizabeth I ('The Ditchley portrait')
		Known as the 'Ditchley Portrait', this painting was produced for Sir Henry Lee who had been the Queen's Champion from 1559-90.
		It probably commemorates an elaborate symbolic entertainment which Lee organised for the Queen in September 1592, and which may have been held in the grounds of Lee's house at Ditchley, near Oxford, or at the nearby palace at Woodstock..

		Ditchley is a house (shown below) in Oxfordshire in England, where Winston Churchill spent many of his weekends as a houseguest of its American owners during World War II.

		However, the Ditchley portrait as commonly known, is Elizabeth in a large white dress, that sort of has sort of wings to it.
		In the Ditchley, Elizabeth is standing on a map of England.
		Probably, but the more usual interpretation is that her toe is pointing towards the Ditchley estate of Sir Henry Lee, who supposedly commissioned the portrait.

	London blocks insider book on lead-up to war on Iraq -- Middle East Times
		Now, however, it is at the center of a political storm that threatens to strike at the ties binding the old allies, as its director, former British ambassador to the United Nations and special envoy to Iraq, Jeremy Greenstock, attempts to publish damaging allegations about the Bush administration's rush to war in Iraq.
		Set in rural Oxfordshire, the 18th century mansion house of Ditchley Park has welcomed a succession of distinguished visitors, most notably during World War II when it served as Winston Churchill's weekend headquarters.
		The fact the onslaught is coming from the head of the Ditchley Foundation, the traditional guardian of trans-Atlantic secrets, will no doubt add to the ire of both Washington and London.

		Some said all the big decisions were made in England, at Ditchley, not so far from the Appeasers' former haunts at Cliveden and only an hour by Learjet from Davos, which is where jumped-up finance ministers and arriviste tycoons merely pretend they rule the world.
		And they may discover the many indications that a significant portion of the Secret Government appeared to be involved in some theatrical production involving the use of women's clothes and lavish application of make-up.
		That's why all those important people rush to the Bohemian Grove, to Davos, to Ditchley, to Bilderberg.

	Autobiography, by Harry Hodson, Chapter 14
		Among those, it would be hard to express adequately how much Ditchley and its governors and guests, as well as my wife and myself, owe to Mr and Mrs Burden, the butler and housekeeper whom we appointed shortly before the conferences began, and who remained at Ditchley for fifteen years.
		She was the ideal housekeeper, caring most devotedly, from her nature as well as her experience in great houses, for the linen and furnishings in her charge, extracting the most from the domestic staff and treating recalcitrant conference visitors as awkward children.
		While we were happy to entertain the younger Kennedy brothers (we had been in the middle of a Ditchley conference when President JF was assassinated, and were all so shocked that it was hard to continue) we had cause to suspect that they were using Ditchley, to some extent, for an ulterior purpose.

		The principal purpose of the Ditchley Park Conference in April, 1998, is to launch with maximum visibility an effort to obtain the most effective services trade liberalization through the upcoming Services 2000 negotiations in the World Trade Organization.
		The G-7 summit is May 16 and 17 in Birmingham, UK, followed immediately by a gathering of trade ministers (and possibly heads of state) at the 50th anniversary celebration of the World Trade Organization in Geneva; and an EC conference on the 2000 round scheduled for June.
		In summary, the Ditchley Park Services 2000 Conference should be the catalyst for a distillation of the views of a representative group of senior leaders on the future of world services trade liberalization.

		Ditchley, during WW2, was used by Churchill as a country escape whenever his official country residence was so moonlit as to be a security hazard.
		And, for the collectors of historic trivia, the curators of The Breakers in Rhode Island have a painting of a chatelaine of Ditchley, Anne Wharton (a prominent 17th century poet)by Peter Lely.
		Elizabeth's foot is planted on Ditchley: it's a symbol that the commissioner of the portrait - a former courtier who was cohabiting at Ditchley with one of Elizabeth's most strumpet-like former ladies in waiting - wanted to get back into the Queen's favour.

		Ditchley Park, Oxfordshire, is the stately home Winston Churchill used during the Blitz for weekend getaways because Chequers, the PM's favourite dacha, was on the Luftwaffe's bombing run to London.
		On the global level, al-Qaeda is "the base" of an anti-American ideologically-motivated assault on democracies whose narrative asks the world's 1.3 billion Muslims to believe that their jihad is a just and dutiful response to a supposed war by the West and its apostate Saudi and Egyptian allies on Islam.
		After three days of intense debate at Ditchley Park, decision makers and their critics return to their desks, less single-minded and more inclined to assist each other in the long haul.
