Famous throughout the world as England's greatest sporting estate, Goodwood has been the home of English sport for centuries: from foxhunting to cricket, from shooting to horse racing, from golf to motor sports.
Glorious Goodwood takes the reader on a historic journey starting in the eighteenth century with the escapades of the first Duke of Richmond (Charles II's illegitimate son), through the nineteenth century, up to the twentieth century with the Brussels and Scottish interludes and into the present day.
The three hundred years that the book embraces chart the ups and downs of a great English aristocratic family and how they responded to the challenges life presented, both as people of their times and as innovators, always with a love of sport that they willingly shared with others.
