Hattie has a degree in History of Art and an MA in Historic Interiors, she has a life-long passion and fascination in Fine and Decorative Arts, particularly works produced in Europe from the 16th to 18th century. After working for the Royal Collection in the Print Room at Windsor Castle, she was a curator for a private collector of 17th and 18th century prints and drawings. Hattie has worked for London's foremost framer of important old master paintings during which time she sharpened her appreciation and understanding of the decorative arts and the changing tastes of collecting. Recently she has been dealing in prints and works of art as well as taking groups of all ages to museums and galleries.

Ms. Bennett related a fast-paced tour of key royal homes, historic sites, palaces, parks all with detailed commentary. The comparison with past and present views (paintings, sketches, photos) was helpful. I enjoyed learning where current historic happenings occurred in some of the sites to remember the importance. Enjoyable zoom jaunt!
