Discover the life and legacy of Charles Lennox, 3rd Duke of Richmond, a radical, revolutionary and reformer in the age of enlightenment. A man ahead of his time, who supported American Independence, and advocated for Universal Manhood Suffrage, Richmond was not what you might expect from an eighteenth-century aristocrat. His twin passions were political philosophy and military strategy, but he was also an important artistic and architectural patron and was driven by a fascination with science and the natural world. The Radical Duke celebrates his remarkable life: the personal and the political.
The Exhibition can be seen on Goodwood House Open Days between 3 August and 26 October.
