N2  - There was a craze for the guitar among amateurs throughout Europe in the early 19th century. Women in particular embraced it for its gentle tone and portability. This article presents a case study of one such amateur, Eliza Chichester of Burton Constable Hall. To understand the place the guitar had in this Yorkshire country house an exploration is made of the life and travels of Eliza and her family. The music that was enjoyed by them and their friends is considered, in particular as it relates to the guitar. It is found that the instrument complemented the high standard of music-making at the Hall and was reserved for the quieter. more private occasions.
