Downton Abbey’s real countess, Lady Carnarvon, charms Houstonians
(original source Culture Map)
“Downton Abbey’s days are numbered, but life at Highclere Castlecontinues.
News surfaced this week that the upcoming season for the popular PBS series will be the last. But the mistress of the castle where the beloved series is set says that public tours are sold out for the next two years and a whole host of activities are planned to satisfy the cravings of fans.
