We founded Ancestral Collections in 1994 and we are now mailing the 39th edition of our catalogue. I hope you enjoy our 39th edition with its Autumn & Christmas 2005 selection as much as we do. We also have a shop at The Square, Stow-on-the-Wold. Ancestral Collections was formed by Lady Victoria Leatham in 1994 to offer fine decorative accessories. Now every two months, with a new cover, a new selection is sent to an increasing number of appreciative customers. We are still based at Burghley House, but we are now so busy we have had to get help to fulfill your orders.
