Looking for work http://myvidster.fun/ myvidster.com The house is no longer actually owned by the family. The last to possess it was Miranda’s grandfather (Lady Victoria’s father), David Cecil, sixth Marquess and the Olympic medal-winning hurdler who was the model for Lord Andrew Lindsay, played by Nigel Havers in the film Chariots of Fire. When his father died in 1956, David was faced with a huge tax bill and was forced to sell parts of Burghley’s collections. Determined that this should never happen again, he put the house into a trust, and empowered the trustees to appoint the most appropriate member of the family to live in, and to run Burghley as director of the house.
