Athelhampton House in Dorset is the focus of this episode of American Viscountess, presented by Julie Montagu, Viscountess Hinchingbrooke. Living in and maintaining these homes is both a wonderful privilege and an enormous challenge, and one of the greatest tasks every house owner faces is heating a centuries old building in a sustainable and economical way.
