		Wentworth Woodhouse is one of the finest Georgian houses in the country, with reputedly the longest facade of any of them.
		The lesson of Wentworth and many other fine houses is that such owners come and go, leaving the building facing a new crisis every ten years or so.
		Wentworth could follow Stoneleigh Abbey in pioneering a new approach, a combination of museum and apartments, of public and private capital, that demonstrates that outstanding houses can still be acquired for the nation.

		Most of the early studies of Wentworth, including the typically astute judgment of Gardiner, suffered from the unavailability of the vast Strafford archive at Wentworth Woodhouse and consequent reliance upon the selective editions of Strafford's letters and papers by William Knowler.
