EPISODE 1

South Wraxall

South Wraxall Manor was built by a family with a fascinating history - the Longs. From lowly origins as descendants of a livestock rustler, they rose through the Tudor period to become one of the most powerful dynasties in England.
EPISODE 2

Kinross

EPISODE 3

Easton Neston

Easton Neston's construction is just one of the secrets hidden behind its elegant facade - the building has had a colorful history. In modern times, it has hosted a Formula One racing team and it is now the headquarters of a global fashion brand
EPISODE 4

Wentworth Woodhouse

Wentworth Woodhouse was once one of the most powerful places on earth. But today Wentworth Woodhouse is something of a mystery. Few people know the house, and fewer still have witnessed its palatial grandeur at firsthand.
EPISODE 5

Clandeboye

Clandeboye House and estate was, like the empire itself, an epic creation - but unlike the empire, it still endures, a vignette of a now almost forgotten age and surprisingly little altered since Lord Dufferin died in 1902.
EPISODE 6

Marshcourt

Marshcourt is one of the most extraordinary buildings in Britain. Built as an Edwardian pleasure palace, with its interior still miraculously intact, it evokes the decadence of that vanished age, like no other.
