Uppark

By National Trust and The National Trust

Book Overview

On 30 August 1989, Uppark in West Sussex, was gutted by fire. Fortunately, most of the 18th-century paintings, ornate Rococo furniture and Sevres porcelain were rescued, and have now been returned to interiors painstakingly re-created by the National Trust. This book describes the fire and the saving of Uppark. It also provides an up-to-date account of Uppark's earlier history, including such famous stories as Emma Hamilton's dancing naked on the dining table, to Sir Harry's wooing of his dairymaid.
