Lord Iveagh: Legacy, Land and the Weight of History at Elveden

Lord Iveagh - Ned Guinness - is custodian of the 22,000-acre Elveden Estate in Suffolk. But inheritance, in his case, is layered. Elveden was once owned by Maharaja Duleep Singh, redesigned with Mughal splendour, later purchased by the Guinness family, and transformed into Britain’s largest working farm. In this thoughtful conversation, Ned reflects on: Growing up with the Guinness name The legacy of empire and exile at Elveden Stewardship over sentiment Farming at scale in modern Britain Writing his own family history The future of estates in a changing world A candid exploration of responsibility, narrative and custodianship. 📖 Ned’s book:Guinness: A Family Succession - https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/1800753603 Join HeritageXplore Club - https://www.heritagexplore.com/hx-club/ Learn more about your ad choices.
