Most of the art pieces in Petworth, which boasts one of the finest art collections in Britain, are owned by the National Trust. While the family, who also has acreage around Petworth, possesses some of the paintings in the mansion. Reportedly, there is little liquid wealth in the family as the Egremont Charitable Trust is said to have made a £6,500 loss on £14,900 sales in 2008-2009.
