In the early nineteenth century Anna, the 7th Duchess of Bedford is said to have complained of "having that sinking feeling" during the late afternoon. At the time it was usual for people to take only two main meals a day, breakfast, and dinner at around 8 o'clock in the evening. The solution for the Duchess was a pot a tea and a light snack, taken privately in her boudoir during the afternoon.
Later, friends were invited to join her in her rooms at Woburn Abbey and this summer practice proved so popular that the Duchess continued it when she returned to London, sending cards to her friends asking them to join her for "tea and a walking the fields." Other social hostesses quickly picked up on the idea and the practice became respectable enough to move it into the drawing room.

 Cotswolds country house hotel Lords of the Manor received four ‘Inspector’s Choice’ red stars and retained three Rosettes for the hotel’s fine dining restaurant at the prestigious AA Hospitality Awards, on Tuesday 2 September at Grosvenor House, London.
The AA’s red stars are only awarded to hotels that stand out as the very best in the UK and the Republic of Ireland. Previously, Lords of the Manor held three. The additional star is recognition of the significant improvement in its offering. The boutique hotel recently underwent a radical makeover and took on talented new chef, Matt Weedon.
Attended by world-renowned chefs and prominent hoteliers, the AA Hospitality Awards are an opportunity to recognise and reward the excellent services provided by the UK’s very best establishments. Winners are selected in recognition of their excellence and success within their chosen market, but they must also have shown a significant improvement in their services and facilities in the preceding 12-18 months. The achievements of these establishments throughout the year put them at the pinnacle of the hospitality industry.
Ingo Wiangke, general manager of Lords of the Manor, says: “This is an outstanding achievement for our team and we are all absolutely thrilled. The refurbishment was extensive but the hotel now looks stunning – seamlessly blending tradition and modernity – and Matt’s exciting culinary skills have really boosted our gastronomic offering. On top of these two significant changes, our already renowned service levels are better than ever.”
