Royal Oak announces spring season of British culturally themed events in the U.S.

NEW YORK, April 13, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- As the American partner of the National Trust of England, Wales, and Northern Ireland, the Royal Oak community supports the Trust's efforts to preserve and protect historic places and spaces across Britain forever for everyone.The spring season features online and in-person lectures by Britain's leading curators, gardeners, historians, and writers.

Two American-born women and cousins, politician Nancy Astor and interior designer Nancy Lancaster transformed 20th-century British culture with their inspiration in creating the English country house style, as well as their gracious and sophisticated method of entertaining. Their descendants, designer Jane Churchill and photographer Emily Astor will discuss their relatives and show previously unseen family photographs from Cliveden, Nancy Astor's country house as well as several homes owned by Nancy Lancaster.

From James Bond's Vesper Martini to the classic summer G&T, Gin is arguably England most famous spirit—now transformed with modern mixology and small batch gin distilleries. The history of the beverage is a rollicking tale involving the British aristocracy and Parliament, class warfare, the consumption of millions of barrels, the deaths of thousands, and more!
