Snowshill Manor and Garden的点评
点评：Snowshill Manor is introduced to visitors as the story of a lovable English eccentric.
But it is really a story of an 18th-century Caribbean slaveholding family, government reparations paid to the family for the loss of the people they enslaved, and a 20th-century heir who converted that inheritance into 20,000 objects.
Understanding Britain's wealth generated from slavery — where it came from, how the state was entrenched and then compensated people for slavery, and how quickly and quietly that money could be absorbed — matters more to the national interest than any individual hobby collection of snuff boxes or penny-farthings in a Cotwold house collection. These are a curiosity. The money that bought them is a history lesson isn't told by the National Trust in the manor it should be.

翻译：斯诺希尔庄园被介绍给游客时，被描绘成一个关于一位可爱的英国怪人的故事。
但实际上，它讲述的是一个18世纪在加勒比地区拥有奴隶的家庭的故事：政府因该家族失去奴隶而向其支付了赔偿金；到了20世纪，该家族的继承人又将这些赔偿金用于收集了两万件物品。
了解英国从奴隶制中获得的财富——这些财富从何而来，国家是如何借此巩固自身地位，又是如何对 slavery的受害者进行补偿的。这些钱能以多快、多悄无声息的方式被消化掉——这一点对国家利益而言，远比科茨沃尔德某座庄园里那些收藏者个人收集的鼻烟盒或老式自行车要重要得多。那些收藏品不过是些稀奇玩意儿罢了。而用来购买它们的资金则承载着一段历史教训，只是国家信托基金并未在这座庄园里将此向世人讲述而已。
