The manor house at night seen from among the trees of the park: warm lamplight in the windows, a lantern burning over the panelled front door, low light grazing the stone plinth and the clipped hedges, and the dark trunks of two mature trees standing at either side of the frame

Membership

Belong to the Estate.

One membership covers the estate, and every application to join it is read individually.

One membership
01

Membership

One membership.

Majori Manor is private, and membership is the arrangement by which it is used. There is one membership. It covers the estate.

There are no tiers. What is open to one member is open to every member, and nothing here is arranged so that somebody can be further inside it than somebody else.

Members bring guests. A good deal of what happens at the estate happens because somebody brought someone.

02

What membership covers

One estate, and everything in it.

  1. The coffered ceiling and a tall glazed timber screen over the staircase, lit warm from behind, with the carved balustrade beside it

Members and guests

Members bring guests.

The estate is private, and it is not solitary.

A membership is one person's, and most of what happens here happens because that person brought somebody with them — to a table, to a court, to an evening in the house.

What that asks of a member is the thing the estate asks of everybody: that the rooms stay quiet enough to talk in.

Applications

How applications are handled.

Every application is read individually. That is the whole of it, and it is why no time is quoted against it.

The form asks what the estate needs to know. There is nothing to attach and nothing further to send.

If a member referred you, saying so is useful. It is not a requirement.
