Michael Hall
‘A revelatory masterpiece, a true alternative history of our times’ - Simon Jenkins, former Chair of the National Trust
LGBTQ+ histories and identities come out of the National Trust’s properties in these touching, poignant and revealing stories.
National Trust houses and landscapes might seem to embody conventional family values, but for generations some very different stories were hidden away. These belong to owners now considered queer for defying the norms of sexual orientation or gender identity – sometimes blatantly, occasionally as open secrets, but most often very discreetly.
Michael Hall explores not only the best-known examples of sexual difference, such as Lawrence of Arabia at Clouds Hill, Vita Sackville-West at Sissinghurst and the ‘Dancing Marquess’ at Plas Newydd; he also covers more recently unveiled stories, such as the lesbian community at Smallhythe and the homosexual scandals associated with Clumber. Then there were the quietly confirmed bachelors, keen to pass their properties and collections to the Trust for posterity...
These stories are set against the queer history of the National Trust itself, such as its foundation in 1895 against the backdrop of Oscar Wilde’s trials; hidden queer influences within the Trust in its early days; and the role of homophobia in its reorganisation in the 1960s; and the evolution to inclusivity and understanding in the twenty-first century.©2026 Michael Hall (P)2026 Bloomsbury Publishing PLC

A Queer Inheritance tells a deeply researched and revealing story of our national life centred on a range of deceptively cosy settings. (Stephen Smith)
The book is committed to showing the complexities of human life. (Oliver Cox)
