Fans of Downton Abbey will remember that in the late 1800’s, an impoverished Robert Crawley, 7th Earl of Grantham, married Cora Levinson, a rich American heiress from New York City. Join Anglophile and former UK resident, Claire Evans, as she talks about the British aristocracy, and their “fortune hunt” for cash-flush, Gilded Age (1870’s to 1900) American socialites who were willing to trade their family’s money for an ancient title, and often a chilly reception into the British titled nobility. 

Claire Evans is a UK travel/relocation consultant and former UK resident.  She has presented online via Zoom at several libraries.
