	Kenwood House (The Iveagh Bequest) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		Kenwood House is a neoclassical building, remodelled by the architect Robert Adam between 1764-79, and has one of the most important Adams interiors in the country.
		There are paintings by various important 18th Century artists, and they seem to fit better in the sumptious surroundings of this sort of mansion than on the walls of a normal art gallery.
		Kenwood House is set in its own large grounds with excellent rhododendron displays in the spring, and some very old, large oak and chestnut trees in a small wood.

	Kenwood House - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Kenwood House (also known as the Iveagh Bequest) is a former stately home in Hampstead Heath in London.
		It was donated to the nation by Lord Iveagh, a member of the Guinness family in 1927 when he died, and opened to the public in 1928.
		There are fine landscaped gardens around the house, originally designed by Humphry Repton, contrasting to the more wild Hampstead Heath that surrounds the area.

	Rupert Edward Cecil Lee Guinness (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		Lord Iveagh realised the land had to be made more profitable and manure would be needed and therefore, in 1932 commenced to buy in dairy cattle, keeping only those which passed the TB Test.
		Lord and Lady Iveagh took a keen interest in their Dairy Herds and prepared a 'family tree', which was regularly up dated, for every animal in their possession.
		Undeterred, Lord Iveagh obtained permission from the War Office to cultivate portions of the requisitioned lands which were hardly used and by the end of the war had regained much of the lost ground - which was successfully cropped.

		The housing crisis was allowed to develop by the parties in Government by their stepping aside and allowing a small cabal of speculators and developers to take control of the market.

		No, what Iveagh wanted in Kenwood was a home for what turned out to be the finest collection of old master paintings to be given to the British nation in the 20th century.
		Iveagh had accumulated his collection in a most unusual fashion and almost entirely through the Bond St dealers, Agnew’s.
		Most of these pictures were hung in Iveagh’s town house at Grosvenor Place but of the sixty-three paintings which he finally bequeathed to Kenwood, sixty-two of them had been bought at Agnew's.
