- Treasure Houses of England
The Treasure Houses of England is a heritage consortium founded in the early 1970s by ten of the foremost stately homes in England still in private ownership, with the aim of marketing and promoting themselves as tourist venues.

*Beaulieu (Dukes of Montagu) (now owned by Lord Montagu of Beaulieu)
*Blenheim Palace (Dukes of Marlborough)
*Burghley House (The Cecil Family, currently lived in by Lady Victoria Leatham, youngest daughter of the 6th Marquess of Exeter, now owned by Burghley House Preservation Trust).
