Do you Love English Architecture?
If last week's Downton Abbey program makes you hungry to explore British architecture then we have some suggestions for you.
Secrets of the Manor House looks at life inside British country houses in the early 1900s and how financial, political and social pressures brought about change to this lifestyle.
Treasure Houses of Britain lets you take a look inside five great English country houses and explores the stories behind them. Or maybe these country homes are a little too modest. In that case you should watch
The Queen's Palaces, which lets you visit Buckingham Palace, Windsor Castle and The Palace of Holyroodhouse.
Windsor Castle: A Royal Year will give you an even more detailed look at Queen Elizabeth's favorite home.
Movies on the Green
There's one more chance to enjoy an outdoor movie on Wyman Green in the beautiful summer weather. On
Friday, August 10 at dusk we will be cosponsoring a showing of
Soul Surfer, based on the true story of Bethany Hamilton, a surfer who lost an arm to a shark.
