Series 2: Episode 4
A look at the teams who care for the some of the most important legacies left to the National Trust, from an aristocrat’s hoard of priceless treasures to the modest family home filled with everyday objects from 1920s middle-class life.\n\nBehind the leaded windows of the Cambridgeshire mansion Anglesey Abbey lies one of the National Trust’s most extraordinary collections: 15,000 objects amassed during the lifetime of one man - Urban Huttleston Rogers Broughton, 1st Baron Fairhaven. \n\nMeanwhile, in Worksop, a modest semi-detached family home is a perfectly preserved time-capsule of early 20th century life. And the team that care for the Trust’s largest fashion collection, based at Killerton House in Devon, are selecting pieces to display in their annual exhibition - no easy task with over 20,000 items to choose from.
