The Historic Houses Association (HHA) represents over 1,640 of the UK's privately and charitably owned historic houses, castles and gardens.

These are listed buildings or designated gardens, usually Grade I or II*, and are often outstanding. Many are considered to be iconic symbols of Britain's unique heritage.

Around 500 of these properties open their doors to visitors for days out, special tours, school visits, film locations, weddings and events, or as memorable places to stay. 24 million people a year visit HHA Member properties and there are over 45,000 Friends of the HHA. Members range from iconic stately homes such as Blenheim Palace, Highclere Castle, Castle Howard, Knebworth House, Longleat and Burghley House, to more intimate houses such as Traquair in Scotland, Treowen in Wales and Belle Isle in Northern Ireland. Most are still private family homes.

The Association was established in 1973 to help owners conserve these wonderful places in the interests of the nation and carries out important lobbying, advisory and marketing work on behalf of Member properties.

Clyme Tymes It was always said that you could tell the values of a society by the way it treats its young and old. I have often wondered why an advanced western nation such as ours needs a society to prevent cruelty to its children but undoubtably we do.

governments who have promoted the idea of youth and energy at the expense of age and wisdom and a lot of the blame must be placed on us for secretly or blatantly harbouring views that aging equates to decrepitude in this neo liberal, market led world.

In 2013 a government minister called our treatment of the elderly a 'national shame'.

Following the recent death of a friend I have taken to thinking about how we perceive the elderly in this country. As their (read our) physical and sometimes mental faculties diminish we tend to see them (us) as irritants who impede the fast and immediate pace and demands of contemporary life.

In East Asia, people are bound by a Confucian principle of filial piety, a moral of respect for one's elderly and ancestors; here, elderly parents become the responsibility of adult children. Deeply rooted in traditional values, children are brought up knowing that they will eventually exchange roles with their parents and care for them.

Whilst putting together an eulogy for this friend I was amazed by her richness and complexity and although she was a feisty and opinionated person to the very end of her over nine decades, I never really appreciated, until now, the unique nature of her life.

In Japan, the 60th and 70th birthday are marked with big celebrations where children perform dances and offer gifts and China even has a law that parents can sue their adult children for an allowance and those who fail to comply can face six months in jail.

Some of the blame must be placed on the end of the local community and the extended family where the contribution made by the snoozing old person sitting in front of the fire was known by successive generations through story telling and reminiscences.

In this country we just need to look beyond the fraility and recognise that the elderly have made their contribution and should be respected for having done so.

Some of the blame must be placed on
