Secrets of the National Trust

Shugborough Hall was the work of two brothers: swashbuckling sailor George Anson who made his fortune on the high seas, and the artistic traveller, Thomas. Alan uncovers their stories and that of another Shugborough resident: jet-setting earl and photographer to the stars Patrick Lichfield. Meanwhile, Miriam O’Reilly seeks out a photographic pioneer at Lacock in Wiltshire, and actor Louis Emerick follows the ale-trail from Shugborough’s on-site brewery to the hop farm at Scotney Castle
