I've been reading a biography of Lord Salisbury by Andrew Roberts, the author is something of an arsehole in his outside life but this book is just gorgeous, and should have prompted a resurgence of interest in that now almost-forgotten statesman, except that it never got the popularity it deserved.
Also, a visit to Attingham Park in Shropshire caused me to pick Decline and Fall of the British Aristocracy by David Cannadine back up again.
