Event Description
Lord North was the British Prime Minister during the American Revolution. Visit and live in Wroxton Abbey, Lord North’s ancestral home in Oxfordshire, England in late June to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence.
While enjoying lectures, accommodations, meals, and events at Wroxton, we have also arranged to visit related historical sites in the Cotswolds area and London, including:
• Sulgrave Manor, George Washington’s ancestral home
• Houses of Parliament and the Foreign Office in London
• Benjamin Franklin’s and Benedict Arnold’s homes in London
• Dinner and drinks at a historic London pub
We are offering a week-long immersive program titled “Lord North, The American Revolution & Wroxton Abbey” that provides an unparalleled opportunity to examine the Revolution from the British perspective – literally from the rooms where Lord North lived and wrestled with the crisis facing his government.
Dates: June 21 – June 26, 2026
Program fees: $2,339 per person – this includes accommodations for 5 nights, all meals, entrance fees, ground transportation and airport transfers. It does not include airfare.
