Henrietta Howard

Heroine City host Lynsey Shaw talks with English Heritage’s brilliant curator of collections and interiors, Dr. Tessa Kilgarriff about the life of Henrietta Howard (1689-1767). In episode nineteen they discuss the life of the eighteenth-century intellectual wit, builder of the Palladian style Marble Hill in Twickenham and mistress to King George II. Henrietta had a riches to rags to riches life that showed her determination, resourcefulness and tenacity in the face of an abusive husband and forced estrangement from her only child. Tessa and Lynsey discuss the nuance in the life of a woman whose legacy goes way beyond the one role she played in the Hanoverian royal household. Warning: Contains discussion of domestic abuse.
